Described as a “trip across an eerie beat junkie’s radio dial,” Transmissions from a Troubled Radio is a hypnotic electronic success from The Numb Project. The Portland, Oregon-based artist crafts an atmospheric allure throughout the album, comprising 18 tracks with concisely impactful qualities. Each track feels like its unique journey across a frequency-hopping spectrum, ranging from the nighttime chilled-out allure of “Ghost Lounge” to the trip-hop pulses within “Candy and Connie.”
A share of chilly atmospheric intrigue and chilled-out blissfulness alike enamor on Transmissions from a Troubled Radio. “Duke’s Dream” embraces the more serene spectrum, weaving gentle piano tones amidst a warming hip-hop percussive layering. “Third Street Glow Up” captivates with its perky trickling and overall nocturnal allure, with a flickering momentum apparent through the conclusion. “7am, Forest Park Underworld” is another lushly enchanting treat, capturing a forest-like soundscape in its glimmering synth pad sunshine. The Numb Project succeeds with atmospheric immersion throughout this compelling album.
