Release Notes:
Haunting, moody and obscure, the tracks display a seductive artistry, a
mingling of murky electronic noises meshed with lush, live
instrumentation. A danceable combustion of shakers, tambourines, and
inventive loops fuse to form the album's enticing opening track "Allow
Me...". "Bound by Sound" is pulsating, light absorbing, and
disturbingly chilly, with a nightmarish ambiance that downright gives
one the willies. The gripping melody of "Verbatim" with its fuzz tone
vocals and wild tempo shifts catapults the listener through a dense and
dripping dream state, while "Final Stretch" concludes the album with
thick and engaging multi-textured percussion. Despite the record's
robust nature, the last lullaby delicately contorts itself into
oblivion, leaving the listener yearning for more. Skopic is sharing his
boudoir secrets with you; pull back the curtain and have a peek.
