CHIASM REVIEWS


"The often dismal character of the Motor City is known for inspiring a host of instrumental techno artists, but Chiasm (Emileigh Rohn) chooses to express her angst through very intimate and intense audio exorcisms that juxtapose her ethereal, haunting vocals and confrontational snarls with murky, minimalist industrial sounds. Disorder, her debut release, makes an immediate impression, displaying an honest tenderness despite its tough and tense musicality. From the murky title track to the kinetic, confrontational `Fight' or the lonely, longing `Formula,' Disorder is a revealing audio diary full of electro energy and honest emotion that gives the idea of `girl power' a whole new spin." -- CMJ "Emileigh Rohn's music is one of the often overlooked treasures of the dark electro/industrial genre." -- LiarSociety "It's been an incredibly long and anxious wait for this new album, but the wait has paid off and fans are rewarded with an excellent work ... pulsating electronics, thoughtful lyrics, fragile vocals, and a full range of musical styles in the form of a dozen excellent tracks." -- GothicParadise "Emileigh Rohn's voice is somewhere between Björk and kaRIN of Collide--soothing in sound and yet jarring in message." -- Outburn "Emileigh doesn't make tracks, she makes true music masterpieces" -- Ashes Magazine

It is with great pleasure that COP International announces Chiasm's highly anticipated third studio album. Chiasm started out as an industrial project, but has transcended the genre and moved into the realm of electronica. Reform is a beautiful mix of cutting-edge beats and bleeps mixed with a deeply emotional sense of humanity. This striking combination has been embraced by a worldwide fan base that is eagerly awaiting Emileigh Rohn's new album. Her current video "Someone" has had more than 6,500 views on YouTube in less than three months. If you are looking for deeply original work with a charming sense of quirkiness and delicacy, look no further--Emileigh Rohn will mesmerize you!


REFORM
COP International - September 2008 - iTunes

This excellent album marks the third in the trilogy of Disorder, Relapse and now Reform. We've seen as her work has progressed and grown through these three dynamic albums and is complete and perfected in this latest work. 5/5

PREFRONTAL EP
COP International - April 2006 - iTunes exclusive


PreFrontal is an EP done right; instead of a disc packed with redundant remixes of one track, there is quite a bit of variety here. Including on PreFrontal are three versions of the title track--one of the most aggressive Chiasm songs to date-- full review


Buy Relapse







RELAPSE
COP International - June 2005
Chiasm (aka Emileigh Rohn) has really done it here with her new cd masterpiece, "Relapse". Each track on the disc is worth listening to without skipping. Emileigh delivers another power punch album that's very emotional, simply wonderful, abroad, and catchy melodies, driving synths and samples. full review


Buy Disorder







DISORDER
COP International - March 2001

The ghost haunting a machine vibe of this album makes for a unique and darkly enjoyable experience. With vocals alternately floating, crooning or hissing alongside the distinctly mechanical mixture of electronic drums, pulsing synths and occasional dialogue sample this is one of those banshee albums that sucks you in and won't let go until it ends. -Chain D.L.K.


 Buy Chiasm vs. TL5



CHIASM vs. TL5 - "Divided We Fall: The Remix Collection"
COP International - March 2003

The remixes are also really fabulous. Lots of noises and extra beats, awesome dance songs as well. Images is a standout cut. Chiasm shows her songwriting strengths on this cd as well as a remixer. - Jules Cohen (Grave Concerns)



EMBRYONIC
Rodent Recordings - October 1998 - no longer available

The voice was like a magnet, an angel crying to be heard, begging and pleading. Struggling to get closer to the mesmerizing voice, he frantically dug at the earth with his hands and began to claw his way deeper. -Etch Magazine

I think the unaffected classically styled piano may be a hallmark of Chiasm's style. The piano surfaces across all five songs. It adds a sense of instant depth, the crossing of the decaying and futuristic synths and the cleanly played piano, and it offers the ears a break from swimming through the oppressive synthetic atmospheres Chiasm is so intent to weave. - Legends Magazine
