Mantle of Gets :: Repr.pn Store (10-17) (Uchelfa)

These gentle, brief, and succinct soundscapes are resonant and melodious as they drift and cascade, enabling Mantle of Gets to deliver a relaxing piano-focused album that simply soothes the senses.

Gentle, brief, and succinct soundscapes

The recognizable abstract electronic pulse that Luke Williams’ Mantle of Gets pseudonym inhabits has reversed, which is a wonderful development as we kick off the new year. The distorted rhythms, eroding glitch textures, and obscure beats have vanished; Repr.pn Store (10–17), instead, features eight delicate piano abstracts and soft tones in a sublime turn of events. These compositions’ solemn nature orchestrates skillful attention to detail and emotive flare—smoothly segueing from one into the next. Carefully constructed musical notes, which draw from each keystroke with effective pitches, feel very necessary—even timely—in such a tumultuous environment. These gentle, brief, and succinct soundscapes are resonant and melodious as they drift and cascade, enabling Mantle of Gets to deliver a relaxing piano-focused album that simply soothes the senses. Maybe all it took to uncover a new chapter in Williams’ extensive auditory repertoire was a brief respite from his previously complex sound sculptures.
