"The skill of working in a group is for the members to change
while remaining a group. ['aisikl] as a sum of its parts is a
group and part of a group and a single person, switching
instruments, locations and volume in their performance.
Following the humming female voice in the beginning of Vague
Sketches, you can already anticipate the song in its entirety
before it even started. With the core melody in place, the
song itself becomes a field of experimentation for ['aisikl]
as if they were not performing their own song, but covering
their material every time they pick up the instruments.
Nothing seems fixed but the idea of the song itself and there
are always possible short cuts and detours the band is willing
to take. This makes it understandable why ['aisikl] has spent
an immense amount of time recording and re-recording this
album before considering it "finished".
Truth is: each track had been finished even before the first
recording. At the same time it will never be finished as it
continues to change. And while you start humming the melody,
many plausible routes the song might take open up. The opening
track Rebecca Blue illustrates this phenomenon unwillingly
through a delicate female choir with numerous overdubs, flying
up and down the songs potential which the band is trying to
grasp as they leap into the track. And it is a pleasure to
hear them sidestepping their own ideas, allowing the room for
constant change."
