@Lowlife, I came here to post that very album! Bandcamp link here. For those unfamiliar with Dwight's unforgettable voice, I encourage you to try a track or two.
Post-jazz, heavy electronics with simple melodies. Pretty effective when they find the sweet spot where effects and melody sink into the tempo. I think I like their previous album more, though ("Aquanaut").

Post-Classical" soundtrack for fans of GUSTAV MAHLER – PHILIP JECK –
BERNHARD HERRMANN - LUIS & BEBE BARRON'S "FORBIDDEN PLANET" – KUMO
In a previous century GUSTAV MAHLER - whose 150th anniversary on july
7th (2010) is being celebrated this year - composed a symphony named "Titan".
Created in search of a work that echoed industrialism and society in the
nineteenth century. PHILIPPE PETIT believed that even if firmly rooted
into Classical it was announcing what Contemporary music would become so
it sounded natural to recontextualize, add new flavours by having
something constantly modern in there. Philippe began work on a recording
of the original symphony - re-editing, time-stretching, distorting,
filtering. He then sent the result to JONO PODMORE aka KUMO as a backing
track who began work with his theremin and electronics by identifying
areas he could enhance or develop or even alienate further from their
original form, and then set to work improvising and layering new
material into the piece, mindful of the collage aesthetic in Mahler's
work. Jono sent the results to Philippe who began mixing both works and
further processing the result.
In a way reminiscent of "2001, A Space Odyssey" offering romantic music
in an ultra modern design which set the orchestra in a new space... A
little bit as if Bernhard Herrmann had scored the glorious "Forbidden
Planet" sci-fi classic, listening to the soundtrack, the Titan you're
heading for is Saturn's biggest moon!
May the stars be with you...
"Tamikrest means “crossing” in the language of the Kel Tamashek, a
traditionally nomadic Saharan people that are commonly referred to as
the Tuaregs. It is an apt name for a band that so successfully merges
the values of their timeless culture with the sounds and visions they
have encountered on a headlong journey to the concert stages and ipods
of the world. . . ." released September 13, 2013
