Tungsten
2021
A boisterous collection of sonic excursions astride the storied KILN continuum, Tungsten is an enveloping zoetrope of rhythm and sound—an astrolabe of ever-orbiting audio collage brewed to a perfect melange of texture and depth. This digital-only sextet of songs offers a gratifying adjunct to their 2020 LP: Astral Welder.
A room full of spinning pedal steel guitar mobiles collide with each other to a backbeat of thick lichen and marching trees. Jigsaw vibraphones stair step through voltage starved fuzz boxes.
A croquet ball rolls into a coda, a pebble tumbles down a playground slide into a turnaround, a concrete block drops in a flooded stairwell creating a bio-pool of headphone found sound.
The trio of Hayes, Marrison and Rehberg again expertly weave syncopated patterns into seductively immersive environments of lost-memory and electrified nowness.
