“An album of haunting delicacy,” says Ampersand And Etc., “[S]low pulses, fading resonances, soft clicks and white noise shudder/beats…. [R]estrained and subtle minimalism.

“Layers of metal-on-metal percussion,” The Wire informs us, “Chugging tape loops, real drums and scrawny, bodiless guitar in a series of semi-improvised sound snatches…, organize[d] into hypnotic yet resolute rock blasts.”

Neutered percolations search for toeholds as they ascend cliffs toward absolute oxygen deprivation. Elastic pika bubbles swell and deflate, creating a terrain like a diagonal pachinko machine heated by sulfur. The first elevator in Europe arrives in the marble-floored lobby of a palatial hotel as toastmasters from every banquet ever held saunter out of the past to drink once again to the health of ostriches with steel drum skulls.

“Seven untitled tracks concentrating on the interplay of Nakamura’s self-sampling and solo (unconnected) mixing desk operations and Kahn’s percussion and sampling,” says Freq. “Their methodology for each track is essentially the same, building loops from fragments of percussion or feedback from the mixer, and taking the process from there, layering slow accretions of half-abstracted sounds into constructions of contemplative repetition and harmonic counterpoint and rhythmic interaction. There is quite a ceremonial aspect to the resulting music…, with a simple electronic squeak, subterranean bass motif or a ringing piece of struck, resonant metal making for an ear-catching point of entry into each piece.”
