A Strangely Isolated Place / ASIPV053
LP
Experimental Album, Tip
Portland-based trio KILN deliver an opulent display of hue and swing across 12 tracks that showcase their finely hewn concoction of visual tones and vital pulse. Drawing from over thirty years of collaboration, they distill immersive sprawl into compact, punchy, and colorful sound. Combining live performance, beatmaking, and waveform sculpting, the trio creates evocative dioramas that continue to surprise and enchant. Riding waves of hi-meets-lo-fi, their work forms a panchromatic daymark designed to biochemically align and stimulate your personal syntax, weaving a tapestry of sonic reveries from the aquarium-on-fire radiance of 'DrnkGrlfrnd', through the garden groove of field-recorded percussion on 'Maplefunk Diptych', to the sizzling guit-noise whiteout of 'Deacon Rayhand'. Expanding on long-explored themes of mosaic texture, subtle melancholy, eroded consonance, and vivid cadence, this release reveals yet another aperture into their unique magnetic universe.[info sheet from distr.]
