Third single out of this electronic arm of the Eddy Current Suppression Ring fam, and though I haven’t heard their first single, I’ll wager on this one being the best so far, if only because of the A-side. “Paranoid Video” fits right in with the frigid climes of the minimal synth revival, but does so with an ear for the music, eschewing outboard gear fetish in favor of laying down a memorable track, with bass pads that are both pillowy and sinister, and which support the entire endeavor. Skeletal in its arrangement, it does everything a good min-synth banger should. “Real Estate” slows things down to a crawl, and layers metalling clang percussion samples over a piercing lead, the same sort of deadpan vocals contributing to the dead-machine atmosphere it belches forth. For me, and many others, this genre either works or it doesn’t; Total Control has a good grasp of where to take this type of music, and the baby steps they walk, single by single, tells us that they’re willing to take the time to get it right.
