Releasenotes:
Spencer Williams and Ryan Gracey's 2nd full length LP as Drape on Infraction.
Analog orchestras and guitar notes that expand for minutes on end. The first two
tracks on Let There Water Air are awash in a guitar and cello haze, rising up on
'new mountains' like the morning sun cresting over the horizon. When it gets
quiet, as in with the opening of 'Interiors', it is a stark-like Cage piano
piece with the sounds of the piano repair shop these tracks were recorded in
captured like bits of dust. The buzzing of a not too faraway guitar still makes
it's presence known, but it is the slooow melody of textural piano that is the
centerpiece here. Where Drape in the past has blended noise AND ambience, here
the noise is weighted, perforated and the light is allowed to filter through.
All filters aside, Let There Water Air is Drape shining brightly. Balance and
restraint - the soft noise of guitar, the melodic anchor of carefully chosen
piano notes, the occasional metallic reverb and um, even a cacophonous
(relatively) piano hammering (courtesy of Doug McDiarmid of Why?), and the
entwining of guitar strings with cello strings.
