minneapolis-based huntley miller (aka cepia), follows in the
mechanical footsteps of autechre, funkst÷rung, and more recently
traject.
pearl ep offers a nice complement to the earlier dowry ep. there
is, quite literally, a pearlescent quality to cepia's material, a
lustrous warmth that makes his machine music inviting rather than
alienating.
following a subtly riveting prelude (malcesine), the ep takes
flight with our bones, a jittery exercise in crackly dub-funk;
while spindly tentacles coil ever more tightly, a sombre melody
surreptitiously slithers through its background, but so faintly it
almost escapes notice.
slivers of sunlight illuminate steely surfaces during the
languidly loping salt field while a sparse, melancholy mantra
pierces dense thrum and clatter in pearl.
the ep's twenty minutes of bright melodies and writhing noises
manage to satisfy your cepia appetite while also leaving you
wanting more.
