Kartei present The Information Is Coming From The Server, a sleek and forward-thinking album on Field Records that blends classic techno sensibility with cyber-age synth-pop futurism. Formed by Crysta Patterson and Luc Kheradmand (also known as Voiski), Kartei’s ethos is rooted in data collection and digital culture, transforming online fragments into emotive, machine-driven music.

This nine-track LP distils years of archived material into a concise statement: clean, melodic and subtly uplifting, with echoes of Detroit techno, early electro-pop and speculative sci-fi aesthetics. Tracks like Open Space Romance and Midnight Sadness balance warmth and melancholy, while Energie Du Vide and Tertiary Love push into more abstract, futuristic terrain. A refined and quietly visionary album that still feels strikingly contemporary.
