from Forced Exposure:
"Distant Bombs consists of recordings made in 2001-2002 while Wright was still located in New Zealand. In listening to this work one can hear the foundations built on in the intervening time by Birchville Cat Motel, Black Forest / Black Sea, and Double Leopards to name but a few. On Distant Bombs, Wright takes guitars, and runs them through various effects to extract their lulling essence in a rich, clear broth. Sometimes the sounds are taped and looped which further erodes their sharp edges. Everything here is assembled with the care and attention of a master craftsman. The drones achieve hypnotic calm through constant shifting of each component in relation to the others rather than microtonal variations on a dominant one. Figure and ground alternate as Wright brings different motifs to the foreground only to recede in subtle shifts in dynamics. It is as if Wright had realized the common threads that run through all of the disparate elements he worked with and coaxed them together to converge at a distant vanishing point. To emphasize this journey, most of the tracks begin with varied sources (anything from acoustic guitar or violin, to what sounds like a processed field recording of the ocean) that coalesce in layers into powerfully assured drones over their course."
