Beatservice Records are thrilled to announce the long-awaited return of Xploding Plastix with their eagerly anticipated album, 'This Is Accurate'.

The Norwegian duo of Jens Petter Nilsen and Hallvard Wennersberg Hagen burst onto the electronic underground back in the year 2000 with their stunning debut single 'Treat Me Mean, I need The Reputation'. Arriving via Beatservice Records, the acclaimed release was followed a year later by 'Amateur Girlfriends Go Proskirt Agents', the first of three long-players that were each released or re-issued on the imprint. After winning countless admirers with their imaginatively-spun electronica, Xploding Plastix took time away from releasing to focus on scoring music for film, TV, and video games. Their last EP, 'Devious Dan', came as far back as 2010, so we're naturally ecstatic to welcome them back from their extended hiatus.

Predictably, the distinguished artists have kept their production skills extraordinarily sharp during their media-focused endeavours, and the 14 tracks presented on 'This Is Accurate' more than make up for the delay between releases. Expertly blurring stylistic boundaries, the freeform collection is vast in scope and boldly experimental throughout, entirely coherent as the music majestically morphs through genres.

'This Is Accurate' finds the players in an unshakeably adventurous mood, darting between disparate sonic realms with consummate ease from the very first bar. Launching via the mangled atmospherics and abstract vocals of 'Starting Undone' we arrive quickly in the delirious swells of 'Average Agreeableness', where quick-fire rhythms power thick pads and energetic synths across a magnetic arrangement.

Floor-focused dynamism arrives in waves, from the energetic thrust and tension-building crescendo of 'Cheese Paralysis' to the maniacal rhythms and anthemic synths of 'More Espresso, Less Depresso'. Bold and invigorating, the album's livelier moments vividly demonstrate the duo's flair for sparking kinetic charge.

Off-world melodies and alien landscapes permeate the album, with transportive textures bubbling throughout. Blending disorienting leads with alluring harmonics, 'Two Nickels To Rub' masterfully builds tension as fragmented rhythms keep the tempo, while the brooding topography of 'Troubles Brought No Joy To Begin With' plays host to delicately entwined motifs and searing harmonics as it strikes an evocative tone.

Immersive moods cut to the core, with yearning refrains carved over bewitching musical beds as breathtaking sonic landscapes are powerfully evoked. The enchanting melodies of 'The Bike Shed' prove entirely arresting as they drift over scattered drums and bittersweet chords, while the cinematic depth of 'When The Cockroach Lands' demonstrates exactly why the duo's talent for score composition is in such high demand.

Elsewhere, the nimble leads and hyperactive rhythms of 'Optimal Meat To Bread Ratio' provide another subterranean anthem in the making, while Eastern melodies abound via the climactic vigour of 'Frugality Inertia'.

This is genuinely stunning work from Xploding Plastix, a production pairing with a uniquely vivid musical intention that we are beyond delighted to welcome back into the fold. We're certain their return will be greeted with equal enthusiasm by the audiences kept patiently waiting for this fitting return to release action.
