Liberating, easefully spun-out melodies betraying a fondness for early krautrock and its brainy structures, while chugging along with the wonky, good timey grin of backyard jugband blues.
These tunes are a Gottleib pinball machine from the fifties compared to the latest, eighth-generation hi-def video game—woody, wirey, with one wobbly leg and something sticky spilled on top. Something you put a little body English into make the right sound come out.
Broken Synths (Alexandros Charidis) and Neon & the Other Noble Gases (unidentified), are both one-man operations, possibly, like the label, both from Greece, and on their Split EP interlaced as perfectly as folded fingers. Although the latter describes his three tracks as “short, rather insignificant narratives” embellished from urban field recordings, Charidis speaks of “time stretched repetitive patterns” indebted to left field techno. And yet their work is perfectly complementary. Liberating, easefully spun-out melodies betraying a fondness for early krautrock and its brainy structures, while chugging along with the wonky, good timey grin of backyard jugband blues.
Split EP is available on More Mars Team.
