Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2006-02-07
Ambient mix of Mogwai’ish electronics, Dirty Three twang-space-jam, Eno’esque minimalism and muzak. Instrumental pieces that are lush and dreamy and hit on all the cylinders of the psyche/ambient/twang motor, even if in the end is smacks of hipster elevator music. Just what we need, an Alan Parson’s Project tribute band.

1) brief ambient wash of synth
2) downtempo beat with simple tremolo’ed guitar melody, really cheesy synth melodies join
3) brief synth wash
4) very brief white noise wash
5) slightly more upbeat minor toned with twang guitar and synth
6) mix of white noise, bass and heavy tremelo
7) echoey Harold Budd’esque piano amongst ambient wash
8) brief again
9) slow to build then cheesy melodies aimlessly fade out 10) backwards looping layered experimental
11) cookie cutter downtempo beat, more of the same twang guitar mixed with cheesy synths
12) another ambient interlude
