The very simple structure of this final song on Solvent’s 2004 backwards-looking Ghostly International release “Apples + Synthesizers” propels the listener toward a place more uneasy than that occupied by the rest of the poppy, happy, or wistful tracks on the record. It contrasts strongly “My Radio”, the much-remixed lament for the dear departed radio [...] Sharing this passion for the haunting of 3-dimensional aural spaces with Plaid, The Black Dog delivers a very synthetic set of melodies minimally framed by a post-rave aesthetic that still sounds pleasingly and eerily natural. All the various wind-up monsters of sequenced repetition or LFO modulated pulses roaming the scales of this songlist in their terrific chrome and black matte definition, even at the full distance of hearing’s horizon, seem to do so obfuscated in a shadowy and endless nighted wood. “Lazare” (Principles of Geometry) Normally I wouldn’t just take to promoting electronic music that so flagrantly espouses the combination of nudity and polygamy in in a primeval environs, but for this set of glitch-influenced, hip-hop sprinkled, Boards of Canada-indebted (for cover art and in part for style) platter of unflinchingly digital oscillators with a taste of ye olde industrial gait, I will make an exception. Exception made. |
