Ambient experimental beauty. Another stellar outing from Type Records, which is run by Mr. John (Xela) Twells. Deaf Center is a Norwegian duo composed of Erik Skodvin (Svarte Greiner, a killer minimal dronester) and Otto Totland (of Nest, ambient folkish). Bladerunnercore. This is the soundtrack to that dream of yours where you are trapped in the woods with Windom Earle and a bunch of sharp, rusted torture instruments. For fans of Boomkat, Rene Hell, Black to Comm, Leyland Kirby, Owl City. No FCCs.
1. Strings reverberate to a nightmarish Technicolor canvas with choral backing vocals. (4:23)
2. Soothing, slightly eerie piano piece. (2:10)
*3. Deep, sustained piano keys and light sampling; strings build the droning chord, piano comes in with the dream-like, melodic, horror score. (6:18)
*4. Dark, long, droney, fuzzy, ringy, lovely. Some piano comes in late. (10:42)
5. Bowed, echoey cello and string exercise in tension; atonal, harsh animal sacrifice to the gods. (4:34)
6. Almost contemporary classical piano, pretty. Qara Köz will love this. (2:32)
*7. Bendy, seeping, lush guitar dreaminess and rich catharsis. (7:55)
*8. Grainy strings and low end hum with little plucked violin refrain and dreamy piano. (4:46)
