Chris Imler: The Internet Will Break My Heart review | Safi Bugel's experimental album of the month


Musing on topics as varied as porn, cute animals, war and weed, the Berlin artist’s latest release is as seductive and disorientating as a late-night internet rabbit hole

The dark underbelly of the internet is the theme behind this record; across its nine tracks, the Berlin-based songwriter and producer flits between topics as varied as porn, cute animals, war and weed with the hasty indifference of someone flicking between apps. Despite sitting under 30 minutes, the excellent new mini album by French producer Fantastic Twins is huge in scope and ambition: originally written as a contemporary dance score, Suite of Rooms(House of Slessor) brings together cinematic soundscapes and icy 80s electronica to create a haunting odyssey. In Ghost/Spirit (Thrill Jockey), the latest album by Berlin-based artist Jules Reidy, the cosy bedroom pop formula is given a sleek, supernatural finish, with plucky guitars and dreamy yearning warped by AutoTune and scattershot electronics.
