Baby It's Cold Inside

Experimental, droney, sometimes minimalist electronic soundscapes with touches of shoegaze and post-rock. Narcotic, bliss-out, vicodin, etc. Slow, brooding pieces that incorporate harsh, dark layers of manipulated guitars, synths, and effects to the crackling of vinyl. Beautifully depressing, lush stuff here. Huge, open spaces filled by low-end drone and instruments that are hard to even detect. A reviewer put it well; it is hard to distinguish what it is that you are hearing. Play this late at night and send the masses on a trip. Bonus points for playing the whole thing. Recommended for people who like music. No FCCs.

1. Vinyl crackles slowly fade into meditative guitar, atmospheric whooshing effects and a touch of tense, rhythmic distorted shoegaze seeps in. Sampling behind gorgeous, droney, lush synths? Slow release, fades into 2. (10:54)
2. Eerie piano opens, dreamy, echoey guitar comes in. This one builds off the opening refrain in intensity to a circular, rhythmic, climax, and drifts into electronics, as it fades into 3. (7:11)
3. Continues the glitchy loop 2 ended on, subtle, melodic atmospherics, trippy effects-laden guitars are looped and other layers of synths and melodic noise is layered. (10:31)
4. Bass from 3 still plods underneath. Dark waves of noise slink in and out. A dark, full, pounding drone with sparse minimalism on top. Interesting exercise in ‘less is more.’(7:03)
5. Most intense track, guitars are forefront and play off of rhythmic, cyclical whooshing sounds. Tense, builds to an angular wall of distorted guitars, kind of post-rocky, and abruptly drops out. The rest of the track is low end refrain, samples, frightening sounds, while chugging guitars are muted and then brought in for another wall of trippy distortion. (8:14)
