Yeah. It’s definitely an acquired taste. I would describe their musical arc as a pair of British B-boys who took super-hard to the beatmaking aspect of early electro hiphop and then pushed that as far as they possibly could.
They’re certainly not songs, in the western sense of having chords and melody. It’s a very different and unrelated paradigm. It’s primarily an exploration of rhythm and timbre. I would not be surprised to discover that a lot of what sounds like musical texture is, in fact, very dense rhythmic sequences.
I find it thrilling. Once you live with it for a bit you can grow accustomed to it and start to recognize the inner-logic of how it works. I know that they perceive it as dance music, but I perceive it more as braindance.
