         █░█    In Elmira, Ontario, the twenty-eighth day of       █░█
         █░█    October 2005 was another one of those anonymous    █░█
         █░█    days that seem to exist solely to fill out a       █░█
         █░█    week: comfortable but mundane, overcast and        █░█
         █░█    forgettable, just like every other brisk Canadian  █░█
         █░█    fall day. This unremarkable backdrop is where      █░█
         █░█    æVertical Lines AÆ takes root. With a stack of     █░█
         █░█    60-minute cassettes and tape recorder in tow,      █░█
         █░█    Decomposure (spare time musician/art guy Caleb     █░█
         █░█    Mueller) followed his average day around to        █░█
         █░█    capture and preserve its unique sound signature    █░█
         █░█    that would otherwise have simply evaporated. Over  █░█
         █░█    the course of the year following that recorded     █░█
         █░█    day, he worked through a detailed process of       █░█
         █░█    digitally deconstructing each hour-long slur of    █░█
         █░█    sound into hundreds of individual clicks and       █░█
         █░█    thumps and pings. Then he built songs from them.   █░█
         █░█    Or song-ish things, anyway.                        █░█
         █░█                                                       █░█
         █░█    The result is an eclectic, unrelenting collage     █░█
         █░█    with a sound almost completely removed from its    █░█
         █░█    nondescript origin: bright harmonic pop refracts   █░█
         █░█    through bristling drillÆnÆbass, handcrafted        █░█
         █░█    electrofunk bumps up against epic abstract         █░█
         █░█    glitch-hop, cavernous acoustic meditation shares   █░█
         █░█    a table with field recordings and jittery          █░█
         █░█    dancehall. Of course, shifting across genre lines  █░█
         █░█    this restlessly could just as easily disintegrate  █░█
         █░█    into unfocused mush, and it does. Or wait, no,     █░█
         █░█    Decomposure manages to patch the elements          █░█
         █░█    together by anchoring them to crisp, unvarnished   █░█
         █░█    vocals and the precise punctuation of his careful  █░█
         █░█    beat orchestration.                                █░█
         █░█                                                       █░█
         █░█    While 2005Æs quietly acclaimed æAt Home and        █░█
         █░█    UnaffectedÆ was marked by an uneasy oscillation    █░█
         █░█    between instrumental and vocal tracks, æVertical   █░█
         █░█    Lines AÆ marks DecomposureÆs first all-vocal       █░█
         █░█    effort, and he commits himself fully to it. While  █░█
         █░█    his previous albums certainly gathered lyrically   █░█
         █░█    from their surroundings and vented, they never     █░█
         █░█    reached levels as intimate or as sprawling as      █░█
         █░█    this: layers of song compete for space and         █░█
         █░█    bewildered paragraphs tumble out like leaves from  █░█
         █░█    each of the albumÆs branches. And yes, it is an    █░█
         █░█    album - itÆs meant to be headphone music, a        █░█
         █░█    listen-all-the-way-through progression that wonÆt  █░█
         █░█    slip quietly into the background, the kind of      █░█
         █░█    thing that wants to build a tiny enclosed world    █░█
         █░█    and demands repeat listening to truly bloom. So    █░█
         █░█    yeah, itÆs gonna sell millions. Luckily,           █░█
         █░█    Decomposure has a day job.                         █░█
         █░█                                                       █░█

         █░█    Each copy of Vertical Lines A contains a 16-page   █░█
         █░█    illustrated booklet, is assembled by hand,         █░█
         █░█    uniquely numbered, and comes with an additional    █░█
         █░█    DVD stocked with (probably too many) supplemental  █░█
         █░█    materials, including:                              █░█
