Jul 22, 2016MSTRKRFT and Keeler have never been ones for half measures. Operator’s overall refusal to do just that, its inexorable 808 death march through a digital hell, makes it MSTRKRFT’s best album yet, not to mention an impressive approximation of DFA1979’s live show, in spirit if not in sound.
-
Jul 19, 2016MSTRKRFT themselves have quit trying to mask anything about their sound or approach, electing instead to deliver the turbo-aggressive noise record they’ve always threatened to make.
-
Jul 20, 2016The MSTRKRFT formula of tight, catchy loops remains unchanged after all--they've just gotten a lot darker.
-
UncutJul 19, 2016The blitzkrieg is offset by a vein of black humour, epitomised by Ian Svenonius' hilariously pitiless guest vocal on "Party Line." But as with any military campaign, fatigue eventually sets in. [Aug 2016, p.80]

Jul 19, 2016Ultimately, their third record doesn't show MSTRKRFT to be master craftsmen.
-
Aug 10, 2016With Runaway, MSTRKRFT find a balance between the antagonistic incursion and electro-funk wizardry, but asides from that standout, the record as a whole is a jarring affair.
-
Jul 28, 2016With the continually progressive and impressive places electronic music and its satellite genres are going, Operator is a regression to the uninspiring basics.
