Sold Out/OOP Limited Edition of 1000. So, uhm, buy it if it's
re-issued!
Intended for release on a tour that was ultimately cancelled, this
unique collaboration between the Hafler Trio, Colin Potter, and
Andrew Liles is a strange expedition into frost-bitten realms.
Siren-like, the intoxicating lure of unraveling mysteries impels
further descent into its cavernous depths, with little hope of
return.
The album begins with ôFalse Soap,ö which has shifting
high-pitches that extend the horizon before theyÆre crossed by low
strings and faint rhythm. It's punctured in the middle by warped
keys and voices, ending with weird loops and liquid flights. On
its heels, ôSticky Tin,ö has subtle waves, washes and percolations
that take turns running across the stereo field, not panning left
and right so much as circling the head. Similarly, the groupÆs
ôBloody Two Wristsö wrap around the skull as a metallic mist, with
gongs battling back and forth through the ears. ôGoing to Workö is
like a glacial chorus of angelic voices tunneling ever deeper into
an Antarctic ice shelf on this epic journey of nearly twenty-four
minutes, the largest continent centering the album. In contrast,
the untitled track that follows consists only of a brief,
deafening klang! before it moves along. After this point, the
album becomes more active than the beginning, relying less on
ambient tones and shifting sonic fields and instead utilizing
unusual textures.
Accompanied by a lot of ringing bass, and slowed, fractured
voices, Eggs Benedict sizzles as it tries to rip the seams off of
time itself. Of Feminine Proportions has a conniving underbelly
that builds into a hive-like finale. Probably my favorite track on
the album is its last, Existing on an Aquatic Theme. The theme of
the title is exemplified by looped vocals that sound like broken
mechanical owls floating back and forth across the song's surface,
tethered by a rusty, high pitch, and buoyed by reverberating bass
smudges.
The disc's many nuances really come alive with undivided
attention, and because of this it's not the sort of album to play
in the background while doing other things. Although it's too bad
that this tour didn't happen, thankfully this artifact survived in
its place. Not only is it a thrilling hint of what might have
been, it's also a remarkable and intriguing document on its own.
