Mikkel Metal
Brone and wait
Echocord/Kompakt

Dane Mikkel Metal released his first album on Kompakt, the German electronic label. The collection of songs feature beats so crisp you can bite into them and notes that live up to his metallic industrial name. Math-rock type of electronica makes it sound like it would be at home as the soundtrack for a David Lynch film. But even if he has achieved a great quality of sound, the songs don't have enough development to be enjoyed easily. This problem can be viewed in three different ways: innovative, experimental or just slow. If you like Aphex Twin or 65 days of static, try Mikkel Metal.
