about

Sympathies is a series of self-published releases by Furtive, showcasing an extensive catalog of production. For the series’ third installment, the formerly DC-based producer unleashes eight knock-out tracks of slippery, warping, acid-steeped techno boppers.

Subduction crowns the release with tectonic force. Pounding kicks and trippy synthesizer ripples steadily build, erupting into a glowering acid line. This volcanic track deftly tightens the screws with an implacable, psychedelic-leaning techno flow.

The release snakes through the bouncy, sliding Reprobate, Surfactant, and Soporific, all anchored by creeping earworm arpeggios wriggling and flickering over kinetic, frictionless low-end power.

Extremophile has Furtive stretching their signature tangled, warping sound design and perky acid across a rolling and funky electro workout. Further percussive groove comes out in Composite Muse, an angular, off-kilter technoid journey across see-sawing arpeggiation.

Furtive flexes some tuffer directions with the bombastic whirl of Destroy All Permanents and a muscular pummeling from Troublemaker.

Sympathies is named after a series of portraits, experimental photographs, and weird VHS footage incidentally produced together with Furtive’s dear friend Mycie during a wild, debauched studio session.
