Summary

Ancient Methods returns with his first EP in three years. On “Society of the Spectacle”, we find seven pieces, some of them short, radio play–like sound sketches that draw on Guy Debord’s visionary book of the same name as the conceptual template for selected sonic interpretations. While Ancient Methods’ previous releases already incorporated subtle commentaries on his immediate surroundings, “Society of the Spectacle” dissects microscopic fragments of the text, holding them up like a magnifying glass to illuminate the book’s prophecies as they have materialized in contemporary reality. Musically, however, the EP feels liberated from any attachment to the spirit of the times—almost anachronistically Ancient Methods. Aside from the near-euphoric moments of “Burn The Frame” this may well be the most introverted work of his oeuvre: far removed from sensationalism, yet without paying homage to conservative minimalism. The opening track, “Image Is My Commodity” carries the unmistakable metallic sonic armor, as trembling beats punch through the guts. The tracks rarely exceed the 125 BPM mark, allowing their full industrial force to unfold. Psychedelic elements—already increasingly audible on the previous EP “The Third Siren”—are further developed here, while on “Cache la misère” obscure, polyrhythmic metal spikes drill through loops with a folkloric undertone. The EP’s surprising outlier is “Burn The Frame” featuring vocals by darkwave icon Night in Athens. The track pairs early ’90s techno references with catchy minimal synth elements—a combination previously characteristic of the side project The Loud Age.
