A very picturesque musical journey through introverted winter-like soundscapes which deliberately bring to the fore a certain sense of mysteriousness and sentimental brilliance.
[n5Mailorder] Love In Times Of Repetition is the first full-length release of a dream pop / electro ambient duo newly formed by two musicians from Island. This astonishing and deeply moving collection of intimate ambient pieces is an obvious reminiscence to the magnificent minimal-evocative naturalism of Arovane, Arc Lab and Boards of Canada. Despite the presence of this clear musical affiliation, the duo develops and impulses a very unique artistic sensibility, expressing a particular interest for textural pop-ish experimentation largely turned to colorful and splendidly sentimental nuances. The compositions partly include deep vocal qualities. With a certain simplicity and with a constant honesty Loves In Times Of Repetition pushes the boundaries of smoothing ambient electronic thanks to an alchemical mixture between discreet cinematic atmospheres and classic dream-pop spaces within a constant romantic spleen-like flavor. Some chilling moods (“On the Other Side”) come close to the delicious sense of melody expressed by artists such as Bjork, Soap and Skin. A few silky-floating dronescapes create an unique sense of space. With their aerial and beautifully calm electro rhythmical grooves, pieces such as “Forgotten,” “Love In Times of Repetition” and “We have come so far again” unintentionally remind the beautifully touching musical sensibility of Flutterspot, Fieldtriqp, Biosphere and Myers Briggs.
A very picturesque musical journey through introverted winter-like soundscapes which deliberately bring to the fore a certain sense of mysteriousness and sentimental brilliance. Inspired and fragile ambient pieces largely recommended for dreaming time and reflective moments.
