There is no harm of course in playing unsettling music as long as the edge is sharp enough to strike the right chords, with a listener in mind. The moody electronica pop of Oen Sujet (Dork Person in Flemish actually)have, however, surpassed this concept on 'Life Given To Quiet Places'.

Oen Sujet kick off with loosely structured harmony singing, while their specific, hasty keyboard-driven tracks recall the two great Max's of our present time; Max Tundra and Max Richter.

The mini-LP is nonetheless a tedious listen of 'warp-ish' broken beat pop music and mysterous bubbles of synthesizer bleeps and vapours of vocals that, after repeated listens, still bear no sense. But I admit, Sugarcubes and Bjørk never meant anything to me, and still don't.
