A spellbinding collection that spins its mystical fabric of fragmented miniatures as far as the eye and mind can see and imagine.
Tiny snapshots and soundtracks
4T Thieves has amassed quite a catalog; his refinement of textured downtempo and sonic atmosphere-inducing tunes have traveled great distances and often require deep listening to settle in. With Fragment, we find the multi-talented sound sculptor emit subtle and tranquilized slices that align with Boards of Canada’s short runtime interludes nestled between their long(er) form pieces.
Tiny snapshots and soundtracks, almost all under the three minute mark, somehow expand from a larger whole. As the title suggests and is defined as “a small part broken or separated off something,” we begin to see and hear that these are more than mere shards, and instead, fragments we are to accept as something larger than life.
As a result, lost time capsules and nostalgic moments drift by seamlessly; as if to ease us into serene ambient threads while flowing synth strands subtly shift around with an emotive surge we can’t ignore. Fragment is a spellbinding collection that spins its mystical fabric of fragmented miniatures as far as the eye and mind can see and imagine.
Fragment is available on Bandcamp.
