Reminiscent of earlier Solvent days when synthesizers and rhythmic melodies shifted across the landscape with punctuated robotic ease, here we find Jeff Pils returning with broken breaks, beats, rugged bass, and all manner of analog machinery gone astray.
Emblematic of Suction Records’ signature sound of yesteryear
Reminiscent of earlier Solvent days when synthesizers and rhythmic melodies shifted across the landscape with punctuated robotic ease, here we find Jeff Pils returning with broken breaks, beats, rugged bass, and all manner of analog machinery gone astray. The title track is emblematic of Suction Records’ signature sound of yesteryear—bouncy, upbeat, and hypnotic melodies glide through its smooth outer sheen. Elsewhere you’ll find punchy electro bits on tracks like “Syntax Radio” and “Dr Bakterius.” Jeff Pils mixes a unique blend of vintage soundscapes and next level electronics—”Alces morbus” is one such example that rips through a myriad of blissful rhythms and uplifting tones as “Casio Zebra” once again registers in the Solvently One Listens arena where delectable low-end flickers about with a scrumptious blips’n bleeps delight. In all, Hesitation Drive pushes through a boundless determination to polish classic late 90s and early 00s synthesizer tangents and provides the listener with a fresh new take on what some might have unfortunately missed out on.
Hesitation Drive is available on Digital Gadget. [Bandcamp]
