Kondo is the latest signing to Ali Wells’ label and as Radiate shows, his sound is every bit as idiosyncratic as the label’s other signings. Throughout the release, there is a noisy, distorted sound, mixed with muffled vocals and found sounds. “Lose The Ability To Understand Existence” revolves around a limber, stepping rhythm and a repetitive vocal sample as creaky noises grind away in the background. The title track is more direct, with distorted, slamming beats underpinning pitch-bent vocals, while “Unvanquishable Number” is a more reduced, stepping workout, albeit one full of half-heard vocal samples. However, Kondo never strays too far away from his love of discordance and “Something For Those Who Wait” is a killer, droning workout.
