Maxime De Bollivier – No Rules For Monster (Album – Digital/Vinyl – Hymen Records)
Maxime De Bollivier is an artist active in various artistic fields, ranging from photography to video making, and also music. Though he has released a substantial body of work, this is his first release on Hymen Records. The album is challenging to define and almost elusive, yet his fusion of styles captivates with its unique and sometimes freaky atmosphere. There is a certain nostalgia in his Glitch and IDM experiments that personally resonate more with me than pure free-style. Additionally, the album features subdued, Cinematic experiments primarily on piano. Maxime De Bollivier makes no compromises, following his instincts to create what I would call ‘sound anarchy,’ which I thoroughly enjoy. (Rating: 8)

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
