Franck Vigroux's <i>Barricades </i>is a glimpse inside a futuristic world that is rapidly decomposing. It’s eight tracks apparently crafted by Vigroux backstage whilst he was on tour, this latest album takes its inspiration for the social inequality, urban decay and overpopulation Vigroux experienced firsthand whilst traveling the globe. There’s also a noticeable undercurrent of Ballard-esque dystopia present just beneath the surface of these electronic-dominated tracks - with track titles such as ‘Concrete Island’ providing a more directly explicit reference. ‘Countdown’ locks things straight down into snapping angular beats and juddering bass synths, before thick swells of distorted drones rise up like a faulty powerline, carving their way against eerie metallic harmonics and sheeny coldwave pads.
