Ortrotasce is an EBM / old-school-pop-industrial side project of Nic Hamersly from Portland, Oregon.
Involved with both analog and digital electronics. I cannot be restricted by physical releases. Here I will deliver online exclusive tracks. Disko Obscura proudly presents Ortrotasce’s self-titled debut album. A binary selection of the artist’s prolific work, “Ortrotasce” is a two-headed beast. Side A opens with the brilliant “World Un Related”, underscored by anxious synths, driving bassline, and spectral vocals. “New System” follows suit with throbbing drums and a woeful guitar rhythm, while the instrumentals “Diffuse” and “Shatter” feature heavy cold wave synths and dizzying sequences. Side B turns feral headlined by “Losing Mind,” an EBM behemoth driven by loaded industrial percussion and savage singing/shouting. The same severity surfaces in “The Body”, “Passion”, and “Expanding Room”, the latter a tenebrous instrumental marked by clever and infectious bass lines and rhythms. |
