Not only does Nimon let it all out, he allows the listener to take it all in—a smorgasbord of infected drones, ambiences and panoramic distortions that will leave you in a state of utter calm.
Nimon is a relatively new outfit that 20-yr veteran electronic music producer Keith Baker has taken on to disperse a new angle of emotion—one triggered by grief, loss and perhaps even desperation. Drowning in Good Intentions steers clear of the post-industrial jacket worm as Keef Baker, Sharps Injury, Crackpuncher et al. Instead, we’re left with the soul of an electric guitar, its stretched corridors of deep, ambient echoes and the calming strands of evolved sound-escapes. Taking on soundtrack vistas that Kattoo, Brian Eno, Bitcrush and Fennesz might inhabit, Nimon traverses through an isolation of textures, slowly simmering elongated strings into distant patches of light and dark. The nostalgic blur of faint voices, collapsed piano keys, drenched emotion and looping chords easily manifests a creative stirring of ideas that details a unique storyline for each pair of ears to decipher. Consumed as organized emotive debris with distilled sheets of shoegaze, a soundtrack dynamic emerges just above the surface. Not only does Nimon let it all out, he allows the listener to take it all in—a smorgasbord of infected drones, ambiences and panoramic distortions that will leave you in a state of utter calm.
Drowning In Good Intentions is available on Ant-Zen. [Release page]
