Larvae

Larvae sounds like the intersection of a high-tech heist and a forgotten industrial basement. It is music built from the debris of pop culture, using jagged breakbeats and eerie cinematic samples to create a world that feels both futuristic and decaying. The percussion is often frantic and precise, cutting through thick layers of atmospheric grit and distorted textures that suggest a deep unease with modern consumerism.

What truly sets Matthew Jeanes apart is the project's roots in mixed media and visual homage. Whether he is deconstructing the sonic language of Kaiju films or Star Wars, there is a narrative weight to the noise. It is not just chaos for the sake of it; every glitch and sample feels like a piece of a larger puzzle, a form of 'culture jamming' that invites the listener to question the media they consume while being swept away by the rhythmic complexity.

Start with the album 'Fashion Victim' if you want to hear their most pointed social critiques wrapped in aggressive electronic textures. If you prefer something more introspective and emotionally varied, 'Dead Weight' offers a glimpse into a more personal side of the project, balancing the harsh edges with moments of haunting beauty.
