J.G. Thirlwell does everything in his power to defy self-imposed genre constrictions with his latest release, Hide, following somewhat in the footsteps of the preceding albums Love and Flow. Only two or three tracks ring true of his industrial origins, the rest sprouting from orchestral landscapes and electronic ballads, thriving on feelings of mourning and abandonment speckled with almost outrageous extravagance. Perhaps Foetus' most cohesive record in years, Hide's fifty-minute runtime is a sonic breeze.
Ride the wild winds of destruction.
