Taking a hint from the media, Luxt have performed quite a stylistic change with
the release of their third album "Razing Eden". Gone are much of the guitars
and in their place is a farr amount of grindingly rhythmic percussion and
electronic texturing. This is not to say that the guitars have been totally
forsaken, but rather better arranged as accompaniment rather than the driven
musical element on the album. As a result this have given Erie and Anna more
room to experiment both with electronics and their unique male and female vocal
harmony that made them such a stand out act when they debuted. The most obvious
change is that the percussion is much dirtier and gritter, similar to sounds
used by Power Noise acts like Noisex, Synapscape, and P*A*L. However, Luxt has
chosen to not overdose on their percussion either, as each distinct musical
element has become better arranged and mixed. It is quite obvious that
this Sacramento duo has certainly learned a bit about musical composition
since the release of "Disrepair" just over a year ago. Stand out tracks include
a rather witty cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' with the usual role reversal
with Anna on vocals and 'Witchhunt' which stands out as an obvious single,
complemented nicely by the addition of a Acumen Nation remix of the track.
