Military Genius is the project of Canadian singer-songwriter and producer Bryce Cloghesy, who released his second album earlier this month. I became aware of him when he released his debut two years ago, which was filled with intimate and introverted songs.
Now he's back with a record on which he largely deals with his near-death experience after falling through a window. Many of the songs have a depressive touch and the music is somewhere between Talk Talk and The Cure (could it be that many artists are currently referencing their album Disintegration?).
But there are also plenty of other songs that convince with a mixture of dark and dubby soundscapes and minimal psychedelic synthwave. Twisted Root is the outstanding track of the album with a looped hip-hop bassline, some guitar licks and almost spoken words.
