Inner Demons has gone to an all digital release format, which allows for a bit more experimentation with times than the 3" disc was limited to. This disc weighs in at just under 30 minutes, which is too much for a 3" CD, but not really enough to warrant a 5" CD. Now on to the music. I had previously reviewed British Misery's earlier outing on Inner Demons, and enjoyed it a lot. I mean, what's not to love about a song titled "Literally Everything is Shit Since David Bowie Died"? So let's dive in and see what misery sounds like this time.

We kick it off with "The sound of thoughts in my head crushing what little heart I had," which is noisy, but not really harsh. Rather, one can think of it as chaotic, but this is juxtaposed with some soothing synth lines that provide a calm counterpoint to the radio static and analog noises. What keeps this interesting is that both sides vie for attention, and seem to be equal in strength. In short, this is a nice combination of noise and ambience. Well done.

"I can't find my way through the fog" is the other track on this release and takes a different approach. Where the first track had noise and ambience in equal measures, this one is decidedly on the side of dark ambient. Spacey synth drone is overlaid with distorted voices that are difficult to make out. In short, this has the feel of being in a dystopian soundtrack.

In short, this is a nice release that provides a lot of atmosphere without becoming overbearing. If you like your dark ambient with some grit to it, this would be right up your alley and well worth picking up. This album weighs in at around 29 minutes.
