Wow, this could cure the world’s ills, make people drive slower and nicer: A mix of lovely ambience, downtempo, drone, noisey but lovely. Narcotic, hypnotic, all the usual words. Incorporates beats in the way that Bowery Electric did oh so long ago to the delight of us all, but takes them to a new level. Aligning this band to Bowery Electric is no small compliment and I cant really think of one more appropriate. Flying Saucer Attack? Maybe. Throw in the cred of Eno, maybe. This is a fucking perfect CD.

1) lovely balm of ambience, subtlely melodic, cinematic
2) dreamy but pensive and midway it gets slightly noisey, subsides into a dark lull then wham! A super cool beat along the lines of Bowery Electric downtempo rock
3) just stellar spacey pretty ambience, droney and balmy
4) a tribal undercurrent, echoey beat to this that evolves into a cool downtempo/funky thing
5) pretty ambience, dramatic blippiness, swirlingness, trippiness, holiness
6) Eno’esque swirling lovely ambience, about 5 minutes in a heavy drum beat evolves, taking Bowery Electric to a new level
7) dreamy looping blippy until a cool beat evolves out of it, man!
8) dreamy droney, becomes a wall of narcobliss toward the end
9) this one borders a little too much on the IDM electro side, but ending loops into noise bringing it all back and good
