Terre Thaemlitz - You Again 2

Review by Danea Mobley-Krist

Terre Thaemlitz's album, You Again 2, is a fascinating exploration of sound and identity. The album is a follow-up to the first You Again album, and it continues to delve into themes of repetition and nostalgia. Thaemlitz's use of found sounds and samples is impressive, and the album is full of unexpected sonic surprises.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Admit It's Killing You (And Leave)". The track features a sample of a woman speaking about the pressures of conforming to societal expectations, and Thaemlitz's use of glitchy beats and distorted vocals creates a sense of unease that perfectly complements the subject matter.

Another standout track is "The Weight of History". The track features a sample of a man speaking about the legacy of colonialism and slavery, and Thaemlitz's use of haunting piano chords and eerie electronic sounds creates a sense of foreboding that is both powerful and unsettling.

Summary by Danea Mobley-Krist

You Again 2 is a thought-provoking and engaging album that showcases Terre Thaemlitz's skill as a producer and sound artist. The album is a must-listen for fans of experimental electronic music and those interested in exploring themes of identity and memory.
