Psychedelic/ambient/post-rock Moholy-Nagy, formed by three members of the Temporary Residence Ltd. band Tarentel, cultivate a lovely, skyward looking sound here that could be called avant-new-age. These songs have lots of synthesizers and often use bass guitar as a backbone. They’re pretty but experimental enough to feel fresh. Favorites: 2, 3, 5. No lyrics, no FCCs. 1. (4:55)—Slow and beatless. Opens with dreamy piano and keyboards. Bass enters and underpins the song as layers of synths build on one another. 2. *(5:06)—Medium-fast. Starts with distorted synths and a propulsive bass line. Very danceable post-punk drums enter around -2:45. 3. *(4:31)—Slow and beat-less. Plucked acoustic guitars begin the song. Bass and spacey guitar sounds enter later. Fadeout starts at -0:40. 4. (1:20)—Watery guitar sounds, with bass and drums in the far background. 5. *(6:01)—Particularly ambient. Piano and lots of serene synths. 6. (5:36)—Slow. Minimal bass and no drums. Lots of sound effects. 7. (2:53)—Mid-tempo. Sounds like 80s sci-fi music. John Maus fans will be happy. 8. (7:47)—Slow. Expansive and cosmic-sounding stuff, with piano, bass, drums, and synths all interwoven. 9. (4:14)—Slow. Wah-wah guitars and other new age sounds. As the title implies, music for walking on the moon. 10. (2:02)—Robotic sound effects, plucked acoustic guitars. Ends with heavily processed sounds. | ||
