Propelled straight into the depths, we are immediately enveloped with the synth textures we came to know in the Entomongaku albums, yet with a very different aesthetic. With “Aluminaut Rescures Alvin” the tone flips from the microcosm of the insect world to that of boundless seas, teeming with life. “Abiogenesis” stands out with its high-pitched synths, groovy delayed bass, and wild percussion — giving the track a frantic yet organic feel. Though the album portrays the vastness of the ocean, it is gentle at times. “A Squid and Her Eggs” is a great example of how intimate Chypho’s songs can be. Chypho is extremely adept at illustrating scenes through his music. His works are cohesive collections of stories — episodes if you will — that convey specific ideas while leaving room for interpretation. One could listen to this album over and over and still find hidden details in its trenches.
