An entrée to Austin’s experimental electronic realm, duo Deep Cross unhurriedly traverse darkwave-tinged industrial while trading off a black metallic vocal fry and sullen incantation all with a through line of existential dread. DJ Erika Voight spins dark ambient and dub techno under the Private Service alias, and the prolific More Eaze provides a hyperlocal abstract glance at the revived field recording scene. Openers JT Whitfield and Shane English combine their post-industrial prowess into a rescheduled debut performance from the conceptual Closed City, whose vinyl bow dropped in June 2020.
