REVIEWS

Future Music Magazine

"influenced by Massive Attack and Depeche Mode, this music is indeed delicate if not exactly noise. Slow tempo electronica with spoken effected vocals and a nicely ambient mix with plenty of space. Atmospheric stuff put together with a lot of care."

1340 Magazine

"Delicate Noise will put your mind on Depeche Mode, Moby, Pet Shop Boys and a variety of European electronica bands. "Diversion" swims through a dark sea of synthesized drones and plodding rhythms. While the album bears a definite techno feel, nothing reaches the tempo of a simple dance tune. It's as if Delicate Noise aims for midnight meditation guided by keyboards. You might say "Diversion" is what the music of Nine Inch Nails does when it stays up past its bed time.
The intricate music of Delicate Noise lends itself to the type of examination one devotes to poetry. Fans of electronica who like to sift though layer after layer of sound should enjoy this album."

The Big TakeOver Magazine

"Creator Mark Andrushko renders his brand of techno with the cool detachment of a hit man stalking his prey. At times enigmatic ("Innocence is What You Are", "Tinted Nucleus") and foreboding ("Sin"), its surgical precision is similar to a Hitchcock film anxiety inducing yet somehow alluring."

Smother.net

"Chicago's Delicate Noise reminds one a lot of the later offerings by Sister Machine Gun. Comprised of Mark Andrushko, Delicate Noise is an art techno band that employs downtempo soundscapes against an array of harsh techno beats that never quite get up to a BPM suitable for most clubs. Bountiful in the bleeps and beeps department, Diversion is a careful and artistic electronic album that churns the groove butter perfect."

Sea of Tranquility

"Delicate Noise is the one-man-band project of Mark Andrushko, a Chicago-based electronic musician with influences that include Massive Attack, Depeche Mode and Air. But before you grimace and click to another review, may I remind you that electronic music has emerged as one of the most progressive forms of music these days? And Diversion, Delicate Noise’s debut, certainly is progressive. Layered, plodding backbeats, textured synths and Andrushko’s distant, mysterious voice intertwine to create an atmospheric sonic tapestry that’s cold and warm, mechanical and organic, and calculated and spontaneous all at once. Diversion ranks among the most aptly titled albums I’ve heard all year. The name Delicate Noise offers plenty of truth in advertising, too ... "
