(Southern) Used LP $12.00
“With drowsy, deliberate compositions that utilize sampling and hard-disc editing as well as an oblique / unique sound aesthetic,” explains Mitch Myers, “Ui stand apart from other post-rock ensembles in their capacity to maintain a compelling groove. Painstakingly constructed, this 1998 album reflects the serious hard work of a cerebral band. Bassist Wilbo Wright, drummer Clem Walmann, and engineer / co-producer Greg Frey all contribute to the finished sounds while Frere-Jones plays some downright elemental guitar licks. The trio utilizes uncommon time signatures and leans heavily towards collective improvisation.”
