Our Take

The collaborative effort between the late Alan Vega and Marc Hurtado, aptly titled Sniper, hits the mark with its experimental, avant-garde sound. Vega, known for his work with Suicide, and Hurtado, of Etant Donnes, come together to create a sonic landscape that is both dissonant and mesmerising.

From the opening track "Breakout," listeners are taken on a wild ride through distorted vocals, pulsating beats, and hypnotic rhythms. The duo does not hold back, throwing caution to the wind and embracing the chaos that ensues.

Tracks like "Somebody to Do" and "Blood on the Wall" showcase Vega and Hurtado's willingness to push boundaries and challenge conventional norms. The relentless energy and raw emotion that permeate throughout the album elevate it to new heights, cementing it as a standout piece in both artists' discographies.

Sniper is not for the faint of heart, as it demands attention and engages the listener in a visceral experience that is both thrilling and unsettling. Vega and Hurtado have created a masterpiece that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who dare to dive into its depths.

In conclusion, Sniper is a triumph of artistic expression, a bold statement from two visionary musicians unafraid to explore the outer limits of sound. Vega and Hurtado have crafted something truly special here, and it should not be missed. It's an album that will leave you breathless, exhilarated, and possibly questioning your sanity. Cheers to that.
