With Soiled Methods, the fourth launch from London-based Dissolved Woman, the band chartered new cinematic indietronica territory by carving out a darkly meditative edge that units it aside from their earlier work.
Opening with the evocative toll of a church bell, the monitor unfurls right into a misty, textural soundscape the place trip-hop undertones intertwine with seductively measured vocals. As trippy results cascade round poetic lyricism, the band’s sonic complexity effortlessly lures you into its gravitational pull.
Dissolved Woman’s devotion to uncooked emotion and class is palpable in each facet of Soiled Methods. The juxtaposition of serene supply with scornful, imagery-rich depth underscores their ethos that ferocity doesn’t should be loud to depart its mark.
Produced by Dani Castelar—whose earlier credit embody two No. 1 albums with Paolo Nutini—and mastered by Matt Colton (Arctic Monkeys, Michael Kiwanuka, Royal Blood), the one showcases their unflinching dedication to being purveyors of beguiling stylised alchemy which is as resonant as it’s refined.
Soiled Methods dropped on December 20; stream it on Spotify now.
