French producer Mike Levy, performing as Gesaffelstein, has released his debut album, 'Aleph.' This collection showcases a distinct artistic vision, merging electronic music with themes of art and fashion, reminiscent of his contributions to Kanye West's 'Yeezus.'
'Aleph' delivers a relentless sonic experience, characterized by its intense darkness and violence. Levy specializes in crafting aggressive, club-ready tracks alongside more meditative, atmospheric pieces. The album's sequencing effectively creates a cycle of attack and release, providing moments of respite between its high-octane songs.
The album offers a challenging, hour-long journey through Levy's sonic landscape. While its intense and demanding nature contributes to its excitement in shorter segments, the overall length can be somewhat exhaustive. Tracks like "Hate or Glory" and "Trans" appear near the end, requiring sustained engagement to reach the album's conclusion.
