Partial Defrag returns to STRATA with Memory Recoil, a haunting and highly tactile EP that dives into fractured digital memory and emotional sound design. Following a critically praised debut championed by The Quietus and NINA, the project shifts from swirling textures toward fragile piano motifs, glitching artefacts and recombined data fragments that feel both mechanical and deeply human.
Uncanny yet warm, Memory Recoil blurs the line between electroacoustic composition, ambient drift and deconstructed club abstraction — music that flickers like corrupted files surfacing from a damaged hard drive. Comes as a strictly limited run of 30 blue and red CD-ROMs in flip cases with vinyl sticker artwork, alongside digital download.
