By 2012, Mannerfelt had dropped his Subliminal Kid alias and began producing under his own name. His jagged, harsh electronics were warmly received by London-based duo Emptyset, who issued Mannerfelt's EPs Come Closer (2012) and Stockholm Recorded (2013) on their imprint We Can Elude Control. His debut solo album, Lines Describing Circles, was released to critical acclaim by Digitalis in 2014. He also started an eponymous label and began issuing his own material, starting with EPs I and II, as well as work by Klara Lewis. He also shared a split EP with Pär Grindvik, issued by Stockholm LTD. In 2015, Sendai released Mannerfelt's CD The Swedish Congo Record ?on their Archives Intérieures imprint. The album was a synthetic re-creation of a 1950s series of field recordings titled The Belgian Congo Records. 2016 was Mannerfelt's highest profile year yet, with further acclaimed releases on his own label such as full-length Controlling Body and EP Transmissions from a Drainpipe, as well as a live EP on Berlin Atonal and 12"s on Numbers and Hinge Finger. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
