    CEX with Love of Everything and Echo 21 June 2005 @ The Aquarium 10pm / $5 / 21+ High Plains Reader June 15, 2006 Volume 12, Issue 40 Fargo, ND Cex in the Aquarium Industrial trip-hop to get over hump day By Mitch Marr Dust off your prophylactics and your dancing shoes, everyone, ‘cause there’s going to be Cex at the Aquarium. Next Wednesday, Cex (a.k.a. Rjyan Kidwell) is bringing his show on the road to give a boost to hump day. Love of Everything, who collaborated on Cex’s latest release, and local one-man band Echo will open. The latest Cex album, “Actual Fucking,” has all ready received loads of critical acclaim and has fans foaming at the mouth for the Kidwell’s famously intense live-show. It’s been a year since the last release, and this album is Kidwell’s most cohesive work to date. Cex albums have always been teasing, obvious talent with glances of brilliance. “But the talent was often clouded by sneering sarcasm and general funny-business. Then “Maryland Mansions” came along, giving us a pissed off Kidwell. Apparently, angry Cex is better Cex. “Drive Off a Mountain,” for example was a moment of Reznor-referencing, industrial laptop transcendence. Kidwell has been tagged as many things: IDM producer, electro-pop provocateur, indie rapper. On “Maryland” the one thing you could peg him as was solitary. The nihilistic record was a stark LP from a laptop loner, a big shift from previous tongue-in-cheek recordings. Even the scene-snobs at Pitchfork gave “Maryland” an 8.2, calling it a cohesive and mature work.
