In Decay Com Truise

Posted on

Published Jul 17, 2012With only one full-length (last year's Galactic Melt), a few EPs and a healthy Internet presence under his belt, it may seem too early for Com Truise (the punny moniker of producer Seth Haley) to be releasing a rarities album, yet here it is. In Decay is 13 tracks of downtempo danceability that's just too repetitive by half. And while sometimes there can be beauty in repetition, as I'm sure we all learned from watching Groundhog Day, redemption can only be found if patterns are recognized and tweaked to a more productive end. This is the challenge with In Decay and most of Com Truise's output. His sonic ideas are circular lines constantly spiralling into themselves ― simple, looped melodies, a flourish here, a hazy sample there, lather, rinse, repeat ― but there's very little difference in tone to keep your attention. 'Klymaxx' is staccato synths with an '80s b-boy backbeat, but it doesn't do enough to get you off (thus the dubious spelling?). 'Controlpop' is a sleepy-eyed meandering that never really wakes up, while 'Video Arkade' evokes none of the analog thrill of its (again, dubiously spelled) namesake.

As this is a collection of unreleased material, perhaps these are just sonic sketches ― the lazy, daydreaming doodles on the front of your three-ring binder ― but, given the lack of differentiation in tone, mood and emotion both within In Decay and between the rest of Com Truise's catalogue, I wouldn't hold my breath.

7 PM DOORS8 PM SHOWCom Truise is the nom de guerre of producer and designer Seth Haley, born-and-raised in upstate New York and currently working out of Los Angeles. His synth- and sci-fi-obsessed records are as infectious as they are expansive. From 2011's Galactic Melt LP to its long-awaited follow-up, Iteration, Com Truise has refined his singular style of melodic beat music.

Each piece ties together his ideas of 'synth-wave' and 'slow-motion funk' amidst a glowing backdrop of rich, nostalgic pathos.Haleys been making music for over 15 years, dabbling as a DJ and with a number of aliases before locking into Com Truise. Though undoubtedly influenced by his parents' record collections and old, faded product design, the Com Truise project doesn't only pull from the past. Hints of Joy Division, New Order, and Cocteau Twins bubble up in every prismatic piece, but it's as if they're processed through a waterlogged game consolewarped, cybernetic, and high-definition. Somehow, Com Truise sounds both familiar and uncanny, and always beautifully handmade.The first Com Truise release was the Cyanide Sisters EP, where mellow zone-outs were juxtaposed with IDM bangers and bumpy, trippy synth-funk. Once Haley joined the Ghostly roster, his tale of the character 'Com Truise', the first robot astronaut, took flight on his debut album, the critically acclaimed Galactic Melt. Multiple EPs and 2012's In Decay, a collection of B-sides and rarities, expanded the backstory and narrative, taking the AI protagonist through unknown galaxies and war-torn planets.

He even finds love and wrestles with heartbreakof course, only in the ways a sophisticated android can.Six years after this saga began, Iteration finally wraps up Haley's sprawling narrative, doing so with the most refined music of his career. The album illustrates the last moments Com Truise spends on the perilous planet Wave 1, before he and his love escape its clutches to live in peace. It's also the most personal record Haley has written to date, as the story mirrors his personal struggles of moving across the country and overcoming creative burnout.

But Iteration is ultimately a story of triumph and self-realization, told by the singular, emotionally resonant sound of a man and his machines.
