“Set to release his latest album, Brief Candles, on February 20th via \\NULL|ZØNE// (Flesh Narc, Frank Hurricane), Robidoux is once again creating without rules or restrictions. The record shifts shapes as it pleases, with everything falling in and out of place as constructed (and deconstructed).

Lead single Little Wall finds Robidoux joined once more by Isness partner YlangYlang, offering a warped and utterly infectious reimagining of popular music. The rhythm is slow and bass heavy, hitting somewhere between trip-hop and trap beats at half speed, but pieces are picked and pulled, scattered and shifted like an impressionistic painting. Robidoux and YlangYlang sing in close harmonies as the music stops and starts, their voices are tied together to composition’s alien path.”
