Five Star Hotel – ‘The Disconnect’ CS $5
This release shows Michigan-based producer Five Star Hotel refining the sound we saw him establish earlier this year on “Surface.” Refining on that album’s abrasive, industrial noise, “The Disconnect” retains those elements but shifts the focus towards dance-floor beats and harsh melodies that float to the surface. Genre: Noise/Electronic
