Chris Imler's album 'The Internet Will Break My Heart' navigates the complexities of internet life, addressing diverse themes like porn, animals, and war across nine tracks. The Berlin-based artist combines influences from Krautrock and industrial dance, creating a distinctive sound characterized by chugging instrumentals and monotone vocals. Collaborating with co-producer Benedikt Frey, Imler's work feels both fresh and authentic. Standout tracks like 'Un Solo Corpo' and 'Agoraphobie' reflect his unique style, infusing humour even in darker subjects, making the album a compelling listen for those familiar with the absurdities of the digital age.
"The record draws on Imler's trusty seedy palette, skulking somewhere in the depths between Krautrock and industrial dance music, offering both refreshment and raw authenticity."
"Imler flits between topics as varied as porn, cute animals, war and weed, capturing the hasty indifference of someone flicking between apps in a dark internet landscape."
"'Me Porn, You Porn' captures the absurdity of a Tonetta track if he swapped his acoustic guitar for a synthesiser, highlighting Imler's unique take on modern life."
