There is still a real and true sonic heft in the construction of their electronic music. It’s music to rattle one’s nerves, in the best possible way.

About two songs into their sold out show at Lincoln Hall on Saturday night, Mount Kimbie mentioned a set the group played at the Metro 12 years ago. During that show, they were opening for celebrated electronic musician Squarepusher and touring between their 2010 debut, “Crooks & Lovers,” and their 2013 record, “Cold Spring Fault Less Youth.
For one, the group, which previously operated as a duo, now expanded to a full-fledged band with live drums, bass, guitars and new band members . Their earlier music, which often used chopped and rearranged vocals, has been replaced with more straightforward songs that use lyrics and choruses. For a music listener not familiar with their latest work, 2024’s “The Sunset Violent,” this may have been a shock.

Overall, I was most struck by the group’s performance of some of their latest tracks on “The Sunset Violent.” The nine-track record, released in April, is, surprisingly, a collection of post-punk tracks for the new millennium. The show began with album opener “The Trail,” an abrasive yet catchy track featuring layers of guitar reverb and Balency-Béarn on vocals. It was an urgent, dynamic kickoff.
