“Acella is informed and inspired by seemingly unconnected work; the concepts and sound design of the late 90′s cyberpunk anime Lain, from which it takes its title and also uses as a sample source and James Joyce‘s experimental novel Finnegan’s Wake. Here they draw away from pop and delve into the language of dreams and digital realities, through surreal and mind-bending scenarios, rendering a splintered yet rhythmically elastic, intense body of work laced with melody. Taking the concept of collaboration to extremes the release delves into the idea of ‘Idioglossia’, inspired by Finnegan’s Wake where a private language is developed and spoken by a small group of people, in this case, Lila and Sin who chatter away throughout the release. You’re unlikely to find another release this year of this detail and roller coaster intensity.” (Hyperdub)
