| | Released on the recently resurrected Em:t imprint, Even Calls is | |
| | the first album from Washington, D.C. trio 302 Acid. Formed of | |
| | Doug Kallmeyer (samples, bass), Justin Mader (samples, | |
| | projections) and Andrew Reichel (electronics), who recently | |
| | released his first solo album as Gel-Sol, also on Em:t, 302 Acid | |
| | are a rare musical structure. Although largely focusing on | |
| | electronics, the band also incorporate real instrumentation in | |
| | their music and appear very well set up to function perfectly | |
| | within a live environment. | |
| | | |
| | Reported to have met in some of Washington, D.C.Æs most | |
| | respectable haunts and brought together by a common love of a | |
| | wide range of genres encompassing anything from electronica to | |
| | jazz and prog-rock to classical, 302 Acid rapidly developed a | |
| | sound largely based on improvisations. Following on from their | |
| | debut EP, Ailanthus Altisisma, released on Hackshop Records at | |
| | the beginning of 2004, Even Calls charts some interesting sonic | |
| | territories, from psychedelic electronic to dark ambient, with | |
| | regular injections of tonal flavours destined to bring texture | |
| | into the mix. | |
| | | |
| | The album opens with the expensive and lush A.I.R.BO.C. Here, 302 | |
| | Acid work around a recurring melodic theme, starting from a | |
| | gentle analogue wave and progressively adding layers (bass, | |
| | drums, sonic distractions, additional melody) until it eventually | |
| | disappears into a whirlwind of sounds. On Tunnel Vision and Road | |
| | Trip To Tokyo, the trio continue to experiment with various beat | |
| | or sonic structures, clipping subtle melodies onto infectious | |
| | backdrop. Tunnel Vision is a wonderful little vignette, which | |
| | begins in distortions and ends in swirls of warm arpeggios, while | |
| | Road Trip to Tokyo combines treated vocal samples and an incisive | |
| | bass line, evoking Future Sound Of London circa Dead Cities. | |
| | Elsewhere, 302 Acid investigates beautiful ambient soundscapes | |
| | not that far apart from Biosphere. Six and Mortariggus especially | |
| | showcase a much more reflective and intimate sound. Melodies are | |
| | caught in slow motion and sounds appear to float freely around. | |
| | If Six is dreamy and spacious, Mortariggus is far more austere | |
| | and cold (hence the title perhaps). Build around a distant drone | |
| | that constantly evolves and changes shape, the track is slowly | |
| | brought to life before being morphed into the dubbey Push Button, | |
| | signalling a return to more organic grounds. | |
| | | |
| | If their first EP hinted at jazz ambiences, this album is a much | |
| | more diverse, yet focused, affair. With their applied electronics | |
| | persistently surrounded with live instrumentations, and a fine | |
| | ear for production, 302 Acid are a welcome addition to the Em:t | |
| | roster and shows that, six years on from the demise of the | |
| | original imprint, the label hasnÆt lost any of its sharp vision. | |
| | Even Calls is a superb record to get lost into. | |
