Album Review
Adam Pearson
Reviewed 2011-09-25
The first track is 31 minutes long. If that does not give you an idea as to what this sounds like, it is noise / X / uncomfortable to sit through and just perfect to play on the radio. For fans of keeping the transmitter on, bringing flasks to work/class, and swimming in fluids other than water.

*1. Muddled scratchy distorted guitars build off of a delayed, two chord droning motif. Around 7:40 in changes to airy, dreamy keys, subtly layered to lovely hypnotism, cosmic, lo-fi bliss. Around 14:10 changes to droning guitar textures. 18:10 changes again - looped layers of scaling synthy lines. 20:30 returns to darker, bendy jail cell violent heavy guitar drone. 25:50 goes into Grouper-eque reverb atmospherics and minimal prettiness. (31:00)
2. Continues from minimal synth dreamy repititions of previous track, adds harsher simple guitar and changes halway through back to noisy distorted guitar drone. (8:50)
