Freddy Ruppert returns with new album ‘The Inner Room’, which is described by record label Stoned To Death as “an album that focuses on haunting, tension-filled interludes that linger between acts of terror and tragic loss”.
The record contains echoes of Freddy’s previous work - particularly 2010 album ‘New Love’, released as Former Ghosts - in its slow-build, tense soundscapes and layers of distortion.
Freddy has collaborated with Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart as well as Zola Jesus in the past and traces of both of those artists’ more ambient works linger here, as well. However, the music presented on ‘The Inner Room’, whilst being familiar, exists entirely within its own world.
A brilliant release from an artist who we thought had thrown in the towel, it’s well worth a listen - headphones highly recommended for that ‘am I in an actual slasher film’ feeling of creeping dread.
