Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

Under the Last Action alias, Belgian sound artist Carlo Steegen constructs a bleak and immersive sound world on Alien Chrome, recorded in Aalst during the summer of 2024. A veteran of the Antwerp noise scene and founder of the defunct Audiobot label, Steegen weaves layers of gritty electronics, fractured rhythms, and metallic textures into a raw studio performance that explores the edges of industrial abstraction. This solo outing distills decades of underground activity into a focused, tactile sonic statement-equal parts dystopian atmosphere and sculptural audio assault.

Each side of this LP from The Haters mastermind GX Jupitter-Larsen is a minimalistic noise work in the style of The Haters, built from loops and extraneous sounds, obscure and curious and each side ending with a giggle; you either need more of this kind of sonic opaqueness, or perhaps you too are a Hater.
