Gillian Dream’s "Bijou" EP offers a bold dive into the lo-fi realms of EBM and industrial, showcasing their emerging identity with five tracks packed into a brief 16-minute runtime. While tracks like “Tisiphone” and “Torque” exhibit a nod to the ’80s and early ’90s grooves, adventurous cuts such as “Toy Box” and “Powerr” spotlight a more chaotic, layered sound. Although not as polished as contemporaries like Youth Code, the duo’s deliberate pacing hints at a potential for deeper sonic exploration.
