An intense and texturally rich album from the Los Angeles duo of Kevin Bernier and Steve Davis, blending heavy guitar drones, rhythmic pulses, post-rock structures, and synth atmospheres across six expansive tracks that oscillate between moody abstraction and beat-driven momentum, forging a dark yet melodic hybrid of noise, ambient, and industrial-infused experimentation.

"As I mentioned before, Love Earth Music isn't a strict noise label. Here are two (or three, as one is a split release) examples to further prove my point, involving many guitar sounds. First, there is the duo of Unsub, with Fetusk on guitars, drones, beats and vocals and Steven D on synth - further down the credits, it says Kevin Fetus. I had not heard of them. I believe, going by their choice of studio location, they come from Los Angeles. They have six lengthy pieces on Ambitious Victim, ranging from seven to 14 minutes. The opening piece, 'The Cleansing', is a dark and moody drone-like piece, with quite an abstract use of the guitar. This piece doesn't set the tone for the album, as 'Ritual Tribulation' follows, with a lot of beats from the drum machines, the guitar being plucked and strummed, and it's almost like a post-rock piece. Perhaps I was wrongly reminded of Bowery Electric since I last heard their music a long time ago. This is the template of the album. The pieces veer between the all-too-present beats, the tinkling of strings, and more beatless drone pieces. The sense of post-rock runs through all six pieces, even when the guitars are more droney and melodic in a different way. A fine reminder of music I don't hear as often as I did but which I immensely enjoy. [...]"-Frans de Waar, Vital Weekly
