Reviews of Basal [12k1014]

Those who can spot beauty in the rust patterns on a steel plate, or in a decade’s worth of random impact scuffs on a diner counter, will find sounds here of a profoundly pleasing nature.

I’m not sure how Sogar manages to stir relatively obscure soundforms into such curiously ear-catching transmissions… but he certainly does.

Les sons micro-électroniques y croisent alors des instruments plus classiques (guitare, orgue), mais la sérénité ambiante n’est a-ucunement troublée.

A night like this can last forever.

Top that, Popp!

Wire surges and humming drones add to the somewhat melancholic feel.

I see the deep well of noise that exists beyond human defined musical categories.

Sogar found himself a nice spot among the best with a clear own sound.

The melodic textures on this album can be almost hypnotising.

An amplification of the everyday.
