phara drops fourth album 'broken signal'
A dense, liminal drift through IDM and hardcore breaks from the Sarajevo underground.
By 40MAG ·
Sarajevo producer phara returns with 'broken signal', his fourth full-length release. The 22-year-old artist builds heavily on the aesthetics of liminal spaces. He operates in a strict framework of 90s IDM, trip hop, and downtempo, keeping the pace locked at 125 BPM. The tracks rely on a calculated mix of hardware-style synth programming and raw drum cuts.
The record points directly to heavyweights like Boards of Canada and the 'Silent Hill 2' soundtrack, but it stays grounded in its own industrial grit. It captures a cold, nocturnal mood from start to finish. This album marks a final, definitive statement before he transitions to his new alias, phara exe.
