This album from Nebulo on Hymen Records sounds partly like your typical Hymen release, but is also very special in sound. It has the usual sounds of idm glitch and break-beats, but also some experimental post-rock elements. It’s also more emotional and less clinical then some of the Hymen acts, which is also what makes this release somewhat different.

On the Hymen site there are some lines about this release:

”… with this cd has created a closed opus that might be seen as a concept album in which the listener has to decide what the concept is.”

And also:

“… listening to 'avutma' is like walking in a dimly lit basement never knowing what's
behind the next curve, and who or what is actually casting these shadows on the walls...
… avutma might be the soundtrack of today's grand guignol.”

This is actually a pretty good synopsis on what the music is about. The music is very involved with the listener in its combination of sad, uplifting and raging structures. The various emotions of us humans are on display here. We go through quiet piano pieces, glitchy space sounds and harder distorted fragments. It feels like some sort of musical abstraction of someone’s emotional life.This combined with broad musical knowledge makes this a very impressive release. The album again contains beautiful artwork by our good man salt. So put it on your shopping list quickly!
