From her base in Kyiv, Veronika Sokolov’s criticism navigates the global circuits of industrial, aggrotech, and darkwave. Her work decodes the synthetic aesthetics and thematic anxieties of these genres as a language for the friction between the body and technology. Writing from a city that embodies crisis, her analysis lends a profound weight to the music’s dystopian visions, decoding the sound of a fractured modernity.
