[Release page] Treading the lines between abstract industrialism and textured noise, Hanetration offsets these four self-released audio paintings with field recordings, manipulated glitches and subterranean ambience. Pealing away at the edges, twenty-nine minutes briskly float away as distressed electronic crackles, horns, reversed loops, fractured vocal samples and tangled strands cascade in a surreal dreamscape filled with ambiguity. As Hanetration deconstructs these pixelated sonic textures, one can easily lose themselves among the myriad of blurred effects that are punctuated by rhythmic patterns throughout. Tenth Oar is a well-balanced array of turbulent—and often subtle—experiments that unfold with repeated listens. Fans of Fennesz and Boards of Canada’s compressed interludes will certainly appreciate Hanetration’s trajectory on this free-of-charge extended player.
Tenth Oar is available via hanetration.bandcamp.com. [Release page]
