Apparat
The Devils Walk
Apparat's Sascha Ring has opened for Radiohead (as one half of Moderat), released 2007's acclaimed full-length Walls, and helped shape modern techno by cofounding the Shitkatapult label (apparently there's a German word for everything). Now, like James Blake's recent work, The Devil's Walk creates a compelling mix of programming virtuosity, songcraft, and plaintive vocals, with spastic blips fluttering amid languid string washes, while a 
mechanical scrim obscures and accentuates the underlying emotions. If Say Anything were made today, John Cusack might blare "Black Water" from his portable, solar-powered, high-end MP3-bazooka tube.
