For those who have not been paying attention, Loss is the work of Inner Demons Records founder Dan Fox. His work tends to be highly emotional and complex, and this release is no exception. “She, Zombie” opens this up with a grinding sawtooth wave drone and a bass line over a woman’s voice on an answering machine repeating, “I’m sorry, please don’t leave me,” followed by a barely intelligible “I just want to see you.” This is an exercise in slow moving repetition, as more and more lines draw together into the composition. About 6 minutes in, there is a male voice spoken word segment about a drug addicted woman. Phrases like, “I was the second most important thing in the universe …. in my universe, she still came first,” highlight the kind of co-dependency hinted at in the opening machine message. This is brought home as the answering machine message returns, but slowly morphs into what sounds like both male and female voices saying the same phrase over and over again, until it is distorted beyond recognition. For those who have followed Loss and are used to the heavily distorted vocals, this is a track with depressing moments of clarity. “Dead Dreams” is the other track on this disc, and has more of a harsh beat feel to it, but with the lush synth work that one would expect from Loss. It works as an interesting upbeat contrast to the haunting feel of “She, Zombie.” Overall, this is a great addition to the Loss discography and well worth picking up. However, you will want to do this quickly because it is limited to 42 copies. This disc weighs in at around 21 minutes.
