Miruna Boruzescu is already known to the blog's readers as a person who is able to combine DJ electronics with moody post-punk with heavier messages. It was like this on A Body and it's like this on the new album called exceptionally fittingly Fortunate Isolation.
The album is opened by a very gothic intro on keys that sound like church organs, but we are quickly invited to the electronic sounds. Sometimes more subtle, sometimes almost alerting and unnerving (as in Time (No Time)). It's not a common thing for electronic music artist to be able to generate such an atmosphere of constant danger, especially that it is done here also without vocals and poignant lyrics. Because those come later in When I Read the News Today, a track about all of us those weeks.
There's also some club electronics on this album, still decorated with pessimistic, post-punk aura though. As in Mirror Hall (The Relief). And finally there is the title track Fortunate Isolation. Would be good if this isolation now was so fortunate for everybody.
Fortunate Isolation costs 8 USD.
