Moloton / Sweden / 2018 / Limited edition
‘Adorable Ruin’ is the second release of Stokholm-based composer and electronician Siri Jennefelt under her Nev Lilit moniker, and her first one to be released on vinyl.
Each composition of the release starts with a drone that seems to be of a similar design, but brings us into vastly differing worlds. Jennefelt’s blend of large, primal drums and meticulously crafted synthesis, that moves independent of each other, makes a fitting canvas for her extensive arsenal of haunting, dystopian sound design.
There is both an immediacy to this release that feels like a direct reflection of the confrontational nature and despair of our present-day world, but it is also obscured by a great calm, that bares with it a chilling, bleak foreboding of the desolation following a potential collapse.
