Metaform – The Electric Mist Just Records: 2010 Bad sign for an album? On first listen, I found myself repeatedly jiggling my headphone jack, thinking the garbled sounds were the result of a loose connection. I was not so lucky. As far as I can tell, the manipulated discord on Metaform’s newest full-length, The Electric Mist, is intentional. The California to Japan artist’s trip-hop disc is ruined by its reliance on questionable singing and vocal distortions. The album begins ominously as ethereal keyboards and brooding drums are quickly joined by a high-pitched singer.
“ElectricEyes” introduces a pattern that many of the songs follow. Haunting melodies fitting neatly in a mellow trip-hop tradition are accompanied by atrocious vocal performances on most of the album’s 14 tracks. There can be no excuse for an album of lazy falsetto (“Door Number One”), dance-like deliveries (i.e. The disco-dance ready chorus of “baby girl, I want you to want me too” on “My Love”) and off-key warbles. The production on The Electric Mist consists mainly of straight-forward drum patterns, bass loops and keys. The entire affair is a gloomy success that doesn’t take the trip-hop sound anywhere it hasn’t been before. At times comparisons to Portishead would be appropriate.
The subdued backgrounds lead the listener to focus on the vocals. Metaform attempts to improve upon the embarrassing singing with the sloppy application of a vocoder. By 2010, most listeners have developed an opinion on the overused pitch-altering machine. You might love it, hate it, or like me, be interested with what it can do when subtly is used to complement an attentive delivery. Sadly, Metaform presses the buttons with a heavy-hand and smears the effect across entire slabs of vocals. The messy results call attention to themselves and the frequently unimpressive lyrics.

All complaints aside, there are a few upsides to the album. As already stated the beats are enjoyable enough. Their competency shines through on the few tracks that don’t feature or focus on the singer. For example, when on “Premonition”, rapper Azeen gets a chance to flow atop the production (ignoring a damn-near satirical set of lyrics referencing rapping on dragons, seeing through prisms, pixel vision and magic wands), they hold up nicely. Similarly, “Introversion” is nearly free of any vocals and stands as a nice bit of atmospheric sound. Metaform’s The Electric Mist is an unfortunate release that is best ignored. Any minor pleasures to be gained from the melodic production is absolutely ruined by the over-reliance on vocoders, falsetto malarkey and face-palm singing.
You should really of learnt what vocoder is before attempting this terrible review. Not even knowing the difference between a vocoder and vocal correction software is quite embaressing, especially when you then go on to give such a woeful and ill-informed review. Lacking in such basic understanding of music casts a very dark shadow about your competancy as a reviewer. Your method of review fails to give an objective review for potential listners who like this style of music and is indeed a one-minded rant.
Let me tell the truth on this album, if you like alternative electro/indie/hop-hop/pop styles you will most likely enjoy this album, especially the stand-out track Electric Eyes which is superb. Reviewer: you really must start to embrace music instead of having pre-set ideas of what music should just because you have extremely pretenious idea’s sir.
And learn stuff.
