Following on from 2018’s Spinflex, this latest outing is most enjoyable. While in places it feels like raw studio shenanigans and output, that output has been carefully polished that oozes strength and control along the way.
Reviews
Yellow Salamand’r :: The Best Of Yellow Salamand’r (Self Released)
Foraging through massive amounts of data and reconstituting them into byte-size recordings that have sporadic start and end points, The Best Of Yellow Yellow Salamand’r is a perplexing and dense assortment worth diving into head-first to unravel its mysterious trip.
4T Thieves:: Elder Dawn (Rednetic)
Elder Dawn dips and dives through a kaleidoscope of color to warm the winter months ahead.
amaranth_todd :: The Body Is A Prison EP (Detroit Underground)
Fully formed and constantly splitting apart, a wide angle lens is placed upon hundreds of microscopic bits, bytes, blips, and bleeps, providing ample room for expansion and artistic growth.
Daniel Avery :: Ultra Truth (Mute / Phantasy Sound)
Ultra Truth is a must have album not only for expressing Daniel Avery’s roots and shouting revival music to old heads, but for providing history to young electronic music fans in a contemporary couverture.
Long Range Desert Group :: Pro-oxidant (Mighty Force)
Pro-oxidant reveals itself to be a stunningly cinematic piece using a full spectrum of sounds from both the electronic and acoustic worlds.
Fractalyst :: Watchtower (Cryo Chamber)
This is theater, this is a type of dark story told by sound and I want to go back. There is something behind me now.
Dana Kuehr :: Basic Moves 18 / WTRTMPL (Basic Moves)
Every track is its own unique flavor and audio trip, yet the cohesion of the album’s story sticks to the ears like sonic glue.
