Self-described as “gnom ’n’ bass,” it is not so far-fetched to imagine Loto Retina as some fantastical creature who just happened to wander into this mortal realm, and their songs don’t do a lot to refute this possibility. Their high-fructose music combines micro-sample chaos and gloopy bass with unpredictable percussion to create a congregation of organic and mechanical sounds. While there is a digitality to Loto Retina’s sound, sometimes resembling a pleasantly malfunctioning robot, it also holds an animistic and feral quality: this is music that growls as much as it grooves.
