Dälek's fourth full-length album for Ipecac, Gutter Tactics, is a liberating crawl through sewers sonic and metaphorical, the outfit's trademark bipolar personality- mellow vs aggressive, ethereal vs earthy- recorded into a single sonic entity. The overall murk of the sound itself makes good on proiducer and founder okt0pus' mutterings about "David Lynch lighting- shadowy, claustrophobic, but shoved with detail", his aural edifices rich in texture and shading. MC dälek's inimitable flow is deeper and more truthful/painful than ever, essaying the nighside of the psyche with an articulate rage.
Gutter Tactics is the next step on dälek's long journey through the dark night of the soul- join them if you dare.
