Releasenotes
From boomkat.com:
That's the s**t im talking about. "Duplex" is a great electronic
album - one of the finest of the year so far - at once daring and
traditional, experimental and conciliatory, tough and soothing. An
amalgamation of ideas and production tools that span across varied
styles and means of execution, bringing to life an unpretentious,
brave fusion of intricate electronic constructions and a seemingly
unconscious sprinkling of acoustic traditions. "Granular Bastard"
opens proceedings brilliantly, taking its time, carefully showing its
hand from the disjointed synthesis of the opening sequence to the
eventual materialisation of the crunchy complexities of rhythm and
the affecting melodies. Taking it slow, one breath at a time.
Awesome. "Contradiction" follows in startling fashion, weaving in a
gentle backdrop of sparse guitar to the broken, slowed-down beat and
the reflective vocal that uncomfortably squeezes itself in. Flawed,
vulnerable, genuinely moving. The rest of the album employs these
principles as its guideline - veering from a heavily processed take
on IDM through to gentle reflections and vocal renditions - at times
appearing robust and angry, at others exposing its flaws, but always
doing so with utmost originality and a desire to innovate that once
in a while just devastates. There are very few IDM albums that take
these sorts of risks, a thing that should be applauded. Highly
Recommended.

I couldn't agree more, terrific album - one of my fav's.
