From deep at the back of the COVID-19 weary mind, a tremor rises and writhes beneath the skin. The pulsing, hypnotc pacing and altercating time signatures of Grimoire have the effect of sending all but the strongest ears reeling, running the gamut of symphonically discordant at times while ethereal and iconically memorable at others.

going on? And why do I keep hearing this on repeat? Who am I? What am I?
Improvised electronic musician KRUX recently cracked a small hill in half using Bass. He is all set to take on a mountain later in the year, using a combination of megaphonics and sound based time travel.
There are many reasons why "Grimoire" is the most original and daring 'electronic' music you will hear in 2020 but only one that is worth repeating. Every time it is played, consecutively/beginning-to-end, it causes parts of the brain that normally are active to go dormant and vice versa. Not dissimilar to brain prognosis, it has been showing shockingly low and high levels of delta and gamma brain waves during the hearing of it.
One report suggests a listener chose to listen to the album through an elaborate system of speakers and microphones to enable them to listen to themselves listening to themselves listening to the album. Such was its effect. This person went missing from a room locked from the inside. The music continued to play but the listener disappeared, seemingly becoming a part of the music.
The following review has not been attributed to any author but has been profaned as true: "It opened a dimension within my perceived reality-dimension, where I wandered, wondering, am I listening to music that was made to soundtrack my listening to this music?"
In short, professors of Audioontologies at UOFC in London, England, are at a loss as to why subjects in extreme isolation experiments are coming out of their chambers humming the tunes to tracks including 'We Came Out' and 'You Were Never A Raver', despite having no exposure to the outside world or -at that time- the unreleased album by KRUX.
KRUX has been reportedly holding talks with DOILER ROOM, M9BO, B3T, WORP, KHALEDOSCOPE and INTERSPOKE. None are sure what box to put him in.
A man has been standing, despite the curfews, on the corner of London, England's busiest street, wearing a speaker for a backpack and decrying KRUX as the bringer of sound based evil.
Between rants, he has been asking people "Are you really gonna KRUX yourself?"
This same man has been running a poll asking all the people who didn't listen to AETHERIUM, KRUX's first major single release, if they are aware of the increase in danger and unexpectedness as a result of the other-dimensionality he is bringing to the ears of the people. He asks anyone who will listen whether they realise that KRUX is opening a portal to an 'Other', using the locks, keys, gears, pulleys and levers of sound.
KRUX is planning to hire this man to be the head of his PR team, once the legal injunctions have been lifted and this man has proven that he can handle the sound and experience of KRUX.
KRUX has been accused of cavorting with ancient principles, willingly exploring the transcendency of beats and proving that it is possible to make improvised music that sounds like it is both from the future whilst heard through the fog and memory of empty dancefloors, footsteps dancing upon them counting out the clocks of the present and yesteryear.
The music you are about to hear was made in a cave somewhere deep below London, in the depths of old London. It is the combined efforts of multiple warring sonic personalities both within and without KRUX.
There is a warning attached to the listening of this album: it may spark uninhibited rising heart pulse rhythms. It may cause nausea, vomiting, hallucinations and even diarrhoea when played above 120dB. It my tive the listener the impression that there is something living inside their preferred music player of choice.
Again, it must be reiterated that every time it is played consecutively, from beginning to end, it causes parts of the brain that normally are dormant to go active and vice versa.
Neither KRUX nor his representation can be held responsible for any resulting side effects, including (but not limited to) spontaneous combusion, retroactive feedback or hyperactive onanism which may result from listening to this compact disc-less audio recording.
Despite all this, KRUX warmly invites you to cordially take a chance, bring your thinking shoes to explore new musical territories as you bend time and space together to go dancing among the stars.

Depth. Pure filthnoid depths. But seriously, really interesting spaces being cultivated here. I've known this album for years and it's always had a special place in my ears. ꓘRUX
It's just soooo daaaaamn GOOD. If you've never heard the artist's work, this is a great introduction. It's rich, warming, evocative, unusual and sounds like it was produced on another planet. ꓘRUX
As iconic and confidently produced as MGMT's Oracular Spectacular - awesome album. Part of now-defunct SpeakerSnacks Recs. Fun Fact - Death Grips sampled this but you'd never know it... ꓘRUX
Delightfully manic dance music from British producer Patrick Tipler where worked-up rhythms collide with high-intensity synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2021
