Cherrystones X Demdike Stare – Who Owns The Dark?

I’ll still go to bat for Raime and Demdike Stare even if they fully submerge into their Merzbow phase – that’s how stan-level my relationship with both duos is. Who Owns The Dark?, their collab with Cherrystones, does test that devotion though: the sound design is too monolithic, the vibe a little too – ahem – dark. But hey, a proper relationship crisis every five years is part of the deal.
