Human Figures

In 2021 the album "Footsteps" introduced listeners to the individual style of Human Figures. Daniel Lewis aka Daniel Holt, The Recluse or Death Posture merged raw strings
with primal percussion to forge a sound of his very own. He now returns to Frigio with
"Tabula Rasa¨. Here we have instrumental machine freak outs and bitter dark-wave, guitar and bass riffs that try to sound more like they arise from listening to mystical 60’s
eastern inspirations.
The uplifting melody indie wave of “Breaking Free” follows, with Lewis’ vocals haunting
from an echoing distance. The low slung “Conclusions are Nil” gives way to the eastern
infused harmonies and underhand dealings of the soundtrack streaked “Military School.”
Distortion drenched, the short and intense “Obedience” shrouds sorrowful vocals in drum
machines, strings and haze. Those pain ridden lyrics are central in the closer. A stoical
snare pierces the dirge of “Disparages,” a cold industrial march into the driving rain. Embittered brilliance from Human Figures.
