Info
IAMX breathes new spiritual life into his hyper-emotional electronic project with the new album 'Fault Lines2', the follow up to the aggressive cult machinations heard on the 2023 release 'Fault Lines1'.
This sequel is half mutant, half prom queen sister with throbbing bass monsters "Neurosymphony" and "Infinite Fear Jets" fading ethereally into tracks like 'The Ocean' which features the gorgeous vocal talents of Hafdis Huld in the Icelandic intro and outro. Then, into tracks such as the multi-layered harmonies of Deathless Wilds; its grimy, grinding 6/8 beats commanding attention as long time collaborator Janne Gezang screams in punk rock glory for the listener to accept everything and anything about to come.
This album is IAMX at the heights of beauty and despair, and is punctuated throughout by its "no fucks left to give" quirkiness. The psychological depths found within the music reflect a wisdom and acceptance hinted at in previous albums, but fully formed here. With trials turned into superpowers, neuroses now commitments, and radical self-love the context and relief of self realization. The vocal performance mirrors the depth of this wisdom, with X sounding both dramatic and relaxed with a self assured effortlessness that comes only with experience. Each vocal note contains the perfect amount of grit, squeal or breath; demonstrating a confidence from years on stage and in the studio which drives in the feeling of intense intimacy to the listener.
The disunion and disharmony of the universe are on full chaotic display on this album. With beauty riding dirt, triplets riding fours, and anxiety riding eroticism. The fractures in the soundscapes becoming Fault Lines.

IAMX haucht seinem hyper-emotionalen Elektronik-Projekt mit dem neuen Album "Fault Lines2" neues spirituelles Leben ein. Es ist der Nachfolger der aggressiven, kultigen Machenschaften, die auf dem 2023 erschienenen Album "Fault Lines1" zu h?ren waren.
Dieses Sequel ist halb Mutant, halb Ballk?nigin-Schwester mit pochenden Bassmonstern wie "Neurosymphony" und "Infinite Fear Jets", die ?therisch in Tracks wie "The Ocean" ?bergehen, in dem die gro?artigen Gesangstalente von Hafdis Huld im isl?ndischen Intro und Outro zu h?ren sind. Dann folgen Tracks wie die vielschichtigen Harmonien von "Deathless Wilds", dessen grimmige, knirschende 6/8-Beats die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen, w?hrend die langj?hrige Mitarbeiterin Janne Gezang den H?rer in Punkrock-Manier dazu auffordert, alles zu akzeptieren, was da kommen mag.
Dieses Album ist IAMX auf dem H?hepunkt von Sch?nheit und Verzweiflung, und wird durch seine "no fucks left to give"-Schrulligkeit unterstrichen. Die psychologischen Tiefen, die in der Musik zu finden sind, spiegeln eine Weisheit und Akzeptanz wider, die in fr?heren Alben angedeutet wurde, hier aber voll ausgepr?gt ist. Aus Pr?fungen werden Superkr?fte, aus Neurosen Verpflichtungen und aus radikaler Selbstlieb
