Alien Panda Jury & EMPROR LEPHANT - Atmo

The indie/electronica wave rising from Karachi is probably one of the best things that has happened to this harrowed country in aeons. Alien Panda Jury is the moniker of Daniel Panjwaneey, a name somewhat familiar to those who've been following musical developments in the aforementioned region. The identity of EMPROR LEPHANT, on the other hand, remains a mystery to most.




'Atmo' is a heady concoction that features many elements that adhere to an 'aesthetic of failure' as defined by the American composer and writer Kim Cascone. It explores sonic domains that are in many ways esoteric, and somewhat alien in these parts. Bits, bleeps, clicks and delayed snare attacks give the tune a basic Glitch/IDM framework. The oozy bassline acts as a cohesive agent.
