the >murmur ep<, limited edition of 500 units in coloured vinyl, the sight belows followup to 2008s full-length glider, is a bracing step forward for the reclusive seattle-based artist, comprising two new songs and a notable remix. the sight below uses the murmur ep as an opportunity for expansion, turning up the contrast on his silky tones to expose an even more deeply textured sound with a powerful emotional effect. on the >murmur ep<, the textures are denser, courser—closer to kevin shields jagged oceans of guitar than gliders wisps of reverb — and the beats are meatier, funkier even. the sight below comes close to recording a real dance track with >murmur<, slipping a skipping syncopation and an honest-to-god bass line into a roiling cloud of distortion. >wishing me asleep< incorporates bits of strings into the mix for a touch of cinematic melancholy.

iro aka sind zurück auf hivern mit dem letzten teil der trilogie, die 2020 mit -el passatge de les ombres- begann. das aktuelle album -planet earth-, das auch auf cd erscheinen wird, zeigt eine neue seite des katalanischen duos. die sieben songs teilen einen klinischen ansatz im sounddesign von perkussion und ambient. stücke wie der opener -14.696- bauen sich langsam auf, während -aquamarine-, eine der singles, eine euphorischere seite des projekts zeigt. diese kombination aus spannung, spacigen beats und hypnotischen schnitten spiegelt iro akas bestreben wider, ein kohärentes und fesselndes werk zu schaffen, das sich lohnt, gründlich durchgehört zu werden. illustration von vica pacheco und design von eenyakee.
