Burial shows he’s unafraid of forging ahead even if it strays from his hits. This is aural cinematography created by a master storyteller working not in words but in sound itself.
Reviews
Beyond the Clones :: Moon Bird (Self Released)
It’s all here, as subdued as it can ever be. Beyond the Clones doesn’t outright produce music that hits you in the face, but rather, massages our subconscious.
Tim Story :: Rust Smudges (Dais)
Each composition on Rust Smudges progresses ever so gradually, filling space while suspending time.
Desensitized :: Chaos in Premonition (Spotted Peccary)
Well, maybe there are some ghosts waiting for you, but nothing to hold the rest of us back. Tis all reliably strange. What does music sound like after death? Chaos in Premonition.
Lokom :: Vor Reflex EP (EC Underground)
Broken bass and electronified hip-hop sounds are in full force with Lokom’s latest for EC Underground as Vor Reflex exudes funk and glitch elements torn to shreds.
toka. :: Abnormal Things EP (Heterodox)
A riveting amalgam of all things abnormal yet dauntingly tethered to shifting and surreal downbeat dynamics.
The Jaffa Kid :: Passing Signals (Suction)
On Passing Signals, the Newcastle based musician’s ability to craft rich and textured works using contrasting and sparse sounds is plain to hear. A top record from an artist who is rightly being noticed and will only continue to be so.
V/A :: Leekmatic LKMTC 22 (Schematic / Leek)
Solidifying their stamp on experimental soundscapes and shifting panoramas through the hands of unique sound sculptors, Leekmatic is a baffling assortment.
Sonogram :: Compendium (Simulacra)
Compiling all new mixes of Sonogram’s ‘quieter moments,’ Compendium makes for a subtly deep low-light listen.
Jonathan Scherk :: Toon! (Faitiche)
Abruptly formed collages can sometimes have problems with explosive rebar into a buzz-saw like changes in volume levels from sample to sample, here the flow is almost perfect, the content is certainly strange but the volume levels are very smooth.
Rico Casazza :: Escandon EP (Perimeter Junk)
These five selections shake and shimmy through downtempo layers with a pseudo-lounge cadence.
