The oblique and annihilating transmissions emanating from the workshop of Polar Inertia have been issued intently and surely over the last decade and more. Environment Control grants access to the biggest consignment to date, with eight tracks of mesmeric play that are fraught with clinical impulsiveness and astringent rushes.

Opening with a didactic panegyric to transmutation, Polar Inertia swiftly counter our recoil with an ominous display of pressure on ‘Smothering Dreams’. The intensity is sustained—as if to suggest that there’s now no way back—until the menace relents on ‘Artic Horizon’, its shimmering gravitational pull amounting to an idealism after the unease that delivered us here.
