more eaze (the moniker of violinist/multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice) and rousay have spent the past decade pushing boundaries, standing together at the vanguard of genre-shattering music that thrills and surprises with its vulnerability and creativity. no floor weds their prowess as sound designers and masterful skills as composers with their skills as acoustic instrumentalists. Eschewing the auto-tune inflected pop-psychedelia and found sounds of their previous collaborations, no floor is collage music as pastoral melancholia, a lush tour into their own version of Americana. On no floor the pair created their own elaborate sound world. rousay"s ostinato guitar patterns and acoustic strums swim through tides of Maurice"s pedal steel. Glitching electronics burble in dynamic fits as dramatic strings add waves of tension and release. no floor"s pieces are atmospheric, living biomes that breathe and grow with each passage, rewarding close listens with the revelation of its emotional core. The five tracks that make up no floor were named for seminal bars in the pair"s shared history.[info sheet from distr.]
