IAMX
Kingdom of Welcome Addiction
Metroplis Records
4.0
IAMX is one of those bands whose skills never cease to amaze me. Just when you think he has pushed his skills as a programmer and artist to the limit he brings up something that's even better than the last album and thus is the case with Kingdom of Welcome Addiction. Compared to The Alternative Kingdom has a much darker edge to it. Its rhythms are slow and moody. Draped around lyrics that reflect naked desire and self reflection. I Am Terrified is a perfect example. It lays bare his trust issues and tendency towards emotional drinking. I just hope hes not a weepy drunk. They can be such a downer. Still its this kind of vulnerability mixed with a slow looping bass line makes for some amazing listening on more than a few different levels. Running is another amazing introspective song on the loneliness of the crowd. IAMX continues to blur the line between the organic and the electronic with his stunning array of programming skills.Keeping things in a delicious place between lighter than air dance music. That stays far away from the standard fare of electronic music. And deep heavy rhythms and bass lines. If your a fan of IAMX then Kingdom of Welcome Addiction will not disappoint.
