Dusker, the latest from Michigan trio KILN,
infuses the entire concept of electronic
composition with an almost impossible organic
sense, its lush songs packed with flourishes that
appear and disappear, cycling, spilling and
disintegrating across the stereo field. It is an
aural feast on headphones, and a perfect companion
for a stroll through auburn fields. KILN have a
knack for balancing heart rending melodies &
progressions against rhythmic forms & textures of
incredible depth, making for a richness of sound
that may well be instrumental for the sole fact
that words could never express as much. They are
also meticulous manipulators of their instruments;
while guitars, drum kits and live percussion
appear on many tracks, the ear will struggle to
pinpoint the possible sources of the unique sounds
comprising Dusker. Despite a penchant for mystery,
though - the band themselves are highly private,
write in their own dialect and never play live -
one is drawn into a placid realm of womblike
softnesses and hazy warmth, entranced and engaged
at every shift by a wealth of beautiful sounds
that elevate their human, natural and electronic
foundations equally.
Having quietly staked out their musical territory
for more than a decade, KILN describe their
evolved orchestrations as "Dusken
texture-groove-mosaics... an active, electrified
space that employs plenty of float, but without
the drift". The underlying complexities and fully
formed environs of each piece come from lengthy
germinations and reconfigurations, born from a
compositional method that involves sound file
exchange and constant modification. It is this
emphasis on a wholly natural process - both in
inspiration and execution - that separates KILN
from their peers, and makes Dusker one of the most
original statements in electronic music in some
time.
