Kinoteki’s third studio album “Human Noise” is uniquely immersive - as if the music is fading and burning as you listen. Being in neck-deep gradients of faded sound on “Faith is a Human” and “Smile on My Face” (featuring lofi juke producer Naked Flames) can surely make you lose time. “How Would You Make It” also cuts the album open, with its glitches and breakbeats that fly out of nowhere. The aptly-named "Closer" is the LP’s grandiose conclusion. A slow build of Kelbin's modular synthesis and explosive jungle/IDM breaks, with the roughness and warmth of Kinoteki's hauntological textures and tape skips.
“I went into this album not knowing what I wanted to do, so I decided to think of something that I could sell out with, so I made really shitty downtempo that was pretty similar to Artifice but 10x worse. I don't think that was a really good idea so I just scrapped everything.
I eventually decided to get off my ass and make "In My Mind" which then got me thinking about something - I wanna make more fun dance music.
It took me 14 tries and lots of scraps, but I eventually did it and got together 8 tracks that I absolutely love. I think the most important thing I did making this album was just go a bit over the top with the warmth, the abundance of white noise and bitcrushed samples. It makes it feel like it was just recorded from a shitty low budget sampler onto a CD-R and I love it. This should be music you listen to when you want a nice little break from life. When you want that 36 minutes of relief. I want this album to played in your car, in your living room, at the gym, wherever you go. It's casual dumb fun and I'm all for it.”
