Daedelus – Righteous Fists Of Harmony (Review)

Daedelus

Righteous Fists Of Harmony

Released by Brainfeeder


Righteous Fists of Harmony is a new accessible record by eclectic wizard Alfred Darlington since his solid 2008 album Love To Make Music To. It's his first album on Flying Lotus' imprint Brainfeeder, and he’s very comfortable in that company. The EP is a requiem for the end—of beliefs, of lives, and of an era. And it’s based on the Boxer Rebellion; a force of resistance fighters calling themselves “The Righteous Fists of Harmony” during an uprising that took place in response to British imperialist expansion, growth of cosmopolitan influences and missionary evangelism in China between 1898 and 1901. It reflects a similar battle we have today against the constant race for new technology and forgetting about old values.

It wasn’t easy, but it sure as hell was a journey. Welcome to my top ten electronic tracks of the year. Take a seat and crank the speakers to eleven: it’s a doozy of a read.
