“Urban Decay” begins with the sound of some post-apocalyptic landscape. There’s this very evident noise-loop which just puts the whole track in some state of… well… decay I suppose. I say that like it’s a bad thing – but I feel like without it, and some of the other ambience built up in the mix – It wouldn’t be quite the same track.
The basis of the loop is a semi-subtle sub, and a minimal percussion/drum-loop that carries some rather eerie synths through the track. There’s something of a lack of breakdowns, or variation – but I get the feeling this one’s all about building up that almost hypnotic loop and getting entirely lost when the breakdown finally dissipates and leaves you with nothing but that noise. After that there’s nothing left to do but fire that monotonous loop back on and nod your head to the sounds of a crumbling environment.
