Cube is the prolific and chimeric nom de plume of one Adam Keith, formidable tape experimentalist and artist / abraser currently operating in Oakland, California's vibrant subterranea. After countless cassette releases, 2016's well-received My Cube LP and a tenure in no-wave faction Mansion, Keith reaffirms Cube's pledge with Decoy Street-his second album and the most developed work he has made under any guise to date.Opener ""In This House"" serves as the ideal introduction to Cube: cellular interference, colliding circuitry, metal-on-metal grind and simplistic guitar distortion meet a towering and damaged beat. While ""Habit"" merges downtempo and industrial touchstones via layers of heavily treated vocals, ""Sanctuary"" tilts further towards propulsion-a dark treatise on discomfort, yet contagious enough to charm DIY and post-punk devotees.Released on W.25th, Superior Viaduct's sub-label for contemporary bands, Decoy Street is recommended for fans of Prurient, Puce Mary and Alan Vega.
