Detritus is finally back with an album to follow “Endogenous”, a debut that really made an impression. “Origin” has all the trademark features of Detritus’ previous work and can instantly be recognized as Detritus, you won’t hear music like this from anyone else. Having said that, there are still fundamental changes in the sound comparing the debut and “Origin”. Disappointingly, some of the havoc has gone and “Origin” is a more subtle experience than “Endogenous” was, at times Detritus doesn’t come far from Boards of Canada (such as in the song “Fable” for example) but now we’re going into segments of songs while there’s still so much to say about the album.
What’s most striking about “Origin” is how “alive” it is. Aside from good flow and swift turn arounds, the overall composition has a life-like undertone, particularly on songs such as “Dead Daffodils” spinning on the theme of mourning / longing but avoiding the cliché by putting emphasis on the profound in humanity rather trying to sell some packed and bottled emotion.
“Origin Narrative (v.3.03)” is in many ways the song that takes one into this album. It carefully balances between the havoc I felt left out on many songs and has a little more punch to it while sneaking choirs into the background, as the song turns from mechanical into subliminal, the two moods merging for a second and transforming yet again. And if, by some chance, you haven’t fallen in love with “Origin” earlier, closing “Sense” is an almost six minute ride in noise speckled, beat driven ambient dnb/IDM that, were it not for the two remixes supplied by Mothboy and Mad E.P. (remixing “16 fingers” and “Paper Cuts”) makes you want to instantly hit “Play” again.
