While signature darker tones grind and gravitate towards infinite vistas, it’s the varying microscopic shifts and fractured melodic fibers that keep us drawn into Tangent’s misty web.
Perplexing and densely layered streams of data
Tangent (aka The Netherlands-based Ralph van Reijendam and Robbert Kok) continue to tangle sounds of electronic landscapes submerged within serene ambient motifs and industrial mechanics. Their subsonic structures and glitched rhythms venture into deeper recesses of the mind where emotive strands recombine to form large textural tapestries with no beginning or end. Granules of dust and debris gradually drift as distant drones and delaminated shapes recall memories once forgotten. It’s simply a special album that consistently accumulates. And within these nine sonic tangents there’s a plethora of perplexing and densely layered streams of data counterbalanced with compact beat patterns that provide more of a pulse than they do to hold these pieces together. While signature darker tones grind and gravitate towards infinite vistas, it’s the varying microscopic shifts and fractured melodic fibers that keep us drawn into Tangent’s misty web and keeps Presence Reverts to Absence tightly bound and ready to implode. We are left in a state of constant flux.
Presence Reverts to Absence is available on n5MD. [Bandcamp | Site]
