Morbid Sickly "Quiet Scary"

Four adjectives.
Four apt descriptions of an amazingly composed, well put-together album.

I first learned of both the producer and album from reddit and it's garnered a lot of attention in /r/electronicmusic since then. It apparently took him 4 months to make - he created, recorded, mixed, and mastered it all on his own.

The sounds are complex and dark, not surprising as he notes Amon Tobin as one of his main influences. The seamlessness of the album is what really gets me though. Every song blends perfectly into the next. That has pretty effectively prevented me from playing any one song off the album by itself. As one redditor put it, "Oh woah man, this isn't just an album, it's an experience."

"Quiet Scary" has great diversity for a first album. The tracks span in length from as short as 1:47 ("Awake") to as long at 8:05 ("Reward"). It can get a little repetitive at times, but it is offset by the fluidity of the work, making it almost unnoticeable. The tracks get progressively more complex, and more dark, until we reach "Soggy Rotten." Soggy Rotten is an ongoing project by Morbid Sickly, the goal of which is still unknown, but he had this to say about it:

Morbid Sickly is a small vile creature with unknown intentions. He stands only 4 feet from the ground and maintains a very hunched and rounded posture. He is plagued with a disease known to us as "Soggy Rotten" This disease makes his skin very...well...soggy, and rotten. What we know is that he travels neighborhoods around the world, hiding in the shadows, constantly looking for the next target. When he finds his victim, he sneaks into their home, enters the kitchen, and makes them a snack with their own food while they're fast asleep. He then scratches his soggy rotten skin until it becomes jelly under his finger nails and then inserts it into the food hes making for his victim. He distracts his victim from the creepiness of the whole situation by dancing for them. When the snack is ingested by the victim, the victim soon after turns into an ALMOST identical creature to Morbid Sickly. The victims soon become an obeying army of the Soggy Rotten Variety and they continue to creep through the world looking for the next partner in the soggy rotten family.

 I am really looking forward to hearing more from Morbid Sickly. His tracks are well-produced and give me the fucking chills. Listen to the whole album here before you buy it on his bandcamp.
