Self-titled debut release by Vactor. The combination of dense sound-wave sequences, arpeggiated melodies and synthetic drum beats along with monotonous vocals results in a dystopian soundscape. The atmosphere is dark, and machines are disintegrating, yet optimism persists. Evocative lyrics imbue industrial sounds with a cinematic quality. Songs about the creative process, personal empowerment, and overcoming obstacles. “The Source” and “Night Dust” feature Mark Cunningham on trumpet.
