A gargantuan beast of spartan electro and brooding melodies, the brand new Snog 'Spätzle Machine' E.P. follows closely after the release of the acclaimed 'Lullabies For The Lithium Age' album. The E.P. features three sublime remixes/reimaginings from the masterful studio wizardry of producer and artist, Vince Valentini. Timely and timeless, each track narrates - through its own unique dialogue - the final breaths of the final human soul, crushed in the relentless machinations of time and technology.
'Spätzle Machine' is a brilliant and bilingual song - the verses in English and the choruses in German - slyly equating the human condition with the manufacture of a traditional handcrafted Swabian noodle dish. With a plaintive, dark humour and a melange of dry Pink Floydian tropes, the incredible video for the song captures a fable as old as Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' and as new as Elon Musk's newsfeed.

Very FLA-centric though Cevin’s contributions do shine brightly as well. A worthy successor to the much more minimal Tenebrae Vision, and one of the best albums in the genre so far this year. Jean-Paul DuQuette
