Brooklyn-based Sapphogeist’s "Mar-a-Logo" (released on BANK Records NYC) is a dreamy, evocative, and potent shout of electronica that transcends the obvious political allusion in the record’s title. Standout track “Holding On” anchors an album chock full of sensuous and hazy sonic mysteries. It’s like a trip through the maze of a real pumping heart — translucent and bloody. Comparisons to Purity Ring and maybe Grimes might come easy, but are merely superficial. The grittiness of “Exodus,” the daring of the funeral march dirge-like “Mar-a-Logo” prove that what Sapphogeist is doing and has achieved is fascinatingly singular. -juan leon
