Pointy Object, the latest track from Drunx, offers a unique blend of experimental minimalism and hypnotic techno. With its steady, stripped-down beat reminiscent of old-school German underground techno, the track feels like a retro computer game mid-crash—glitchy, rhythmic, and intriguing.
The looping guitar riff, a “jigga-jing” rhythm that continuously evolves without losing its core, creates an unsettling but captivating paradox. It feels as though nothing changes, yet everything shifts around you. Pointy Object pulls you into a trance, where subtle nuances make it hard to define what’s actually happening.
Interestingly, Drunx describes Pointy Object as probably the most “easy listening” track from his upcoming album, The Multiverse of Drunx, which is shaping up to be a massive three-part release. This track is a taste, an amuse-bouche before the main event—a way to get listeners freaking out before the full sonic experience drops later this year.
Prepare yourself, because Pointy Object is only the beginning.
