Collapse Phase

Collapse Phase is Polito's debut album, merging improvised contemporary dance with live techno. The Naarm quartet—Robert Downie, Finnian Langham, Arabella Frahn-Starkie, and Hillary Goldsmith—craft a cohesive journey through swirling synths, Mills-influenced loops, acid cuts, and IDM-inflected soundscapes. Tracks like 'Nine Lines' and 'Mercado Waltz' showcase their mastery of tension-building and layered sound design, translating their acclaimed live performances into a compelling long-player format.
