It's becoming increasingly difficult to
write about Celer's music. The duo's
output has been coming our way at a
steady rate in recent months and their
music seems to be converging on the
extremes of ambient fragility. Far away
from the more usual drone recordings
that come our way, Celer's music is
incredibly bold in its gentleness and
the demands it makes on you as a
listener. There's a lot going on over
the course of this forty minutes, and to
get the most out of it you'll have to
tune in carefully, but even the most
casual level of exposure to this music
seems to slow down time. The dynamic
range stretches between quietness and
lulled imperceptibility, wafting in and
out of earshot unless you really crank
the volume and it's this coquettish,
elusive quality that makes Celer so
magical, and places them on a different
plane to most other practitioners
currently operating in a similar field.
While comparisons to Stars Of The Lid
and Stephan Mathieu have previously been
thrown around these pages, the sheer
enigmatic stillness and overwhelming
ambiguity of this music makes them a
whole other prospect. Highly
recommended, as ever.
