Volor Flex - "Unlit"

You won't find any Burial comparisons in this review.  Nope.  Not a one.  At no point in talking about Volor Flex will I attempt to equate the producer with his equally enigmatic sonic brother Burial.  That would just be lazy hack journalism, the kind that we here at Monster Poison decry.  To even think about comparing Volor Flex to Burial would do a disservice to the music contained within "Unlit."  While there may be some surface comparisons that could be made to the popular dubstep upstart, Volor Flex's third album is no mere homage or tribute act.  The young Russian producer may work with the same tonal palettes and textures as Burial, but this album holds up when analyzed independently.  "Unlit" is an apropos name for the record, as everything about it is rendered in shades of grey.  Synths reverberate across the skittering beats as mournful vocal samples pop in the background.  Again, I am not comparing this album to Burial in any way, shape or form.  I would certainly never suggest that if you enjoy the "Kindred" and "Rival Dealer" EP's, you should run out immediately and track down a copy of Volor Flex's "Unlit."  Because I've got journalistic integrity, and that's what matters.
