BLCKCSTLS The sheer will for constant improvement that is being displayed with every new record put out by dvdv is a sight (and sound) to behold. I have seen the earliest artistic steps she took first hand and to now arrive at a piece like WITOOA fills me with a sense of wonder. The album and therefor dvdv prove strong enough to cut through todays Weltschmerz by channeling it.

ghosts are hunting me they hunt my reality they want to fill me up with fear they want me to lose everything - what keeps me alive? they are telling me stories of so much bitterness of so much hate of so much desperation of so many tears but they are all just me and i reflect how i want everything to be? please leave me alone (i don't want to be alone)

about

'Three years following of her debut album ‘ai am’, dvdv returns once again constructing a subterranean cathedral of collected ambient noise beneath her staple sound. ‘What is the opposite of ambivalence’ is a meticulously put together digital voyage beyond a sparse and blurry sonic surface into a zone of far-away and unkempt rumbling bass tones trenched between vignettes. That is not to say this project is without melodic structure or lyrics as the sparkly and glitchy, time-warping production on WITOOA occasionally veers on the Raster-esque whenever it shows up, while the amorphous vocals sink into songs of longing and desire to partner it. This album is over an hour long, in and out, of new forms of Psybient text shattering apart an already-loose deconstructed-club frame to set free a frail center.' - Mohamed Abnaof
