NEW VINYL LP ON ZEAL RECORDS 2015 180 GRAM VINYL This slice of no frills ambient comes from Kevin Imbrechts, a bedside composer seeking to communicate his unabashed love of neo-classical and post-rock. On ‘#1’, his own attempt at minimalism comes through both processing and more formalised composition, the two combining for a record in which forlorn melodies come creeping out of unmoveable soundscapes. Let’s go.What Imbrechts makes is both sublime and grandiose; the plucked guitar notes that punctuate the gentle noise wall of “Llyr” sound exalted with the crystalline sound of London Grammar, echoing out against acoustics that seem to have suddenly transpired, the song expanding outward from its suffocating setting. His use of noise processing, in the meantime, is both assimilating and gentle, creating a torrid backdrop that is nonetheless entirely listenable: in its brief time on earth, “Interlude I” recalls the sweet but caustic drone of Secret Pyramid. 149.95 dkr Tracklist A1 Dualisms A2 Llŷr A3 Interlude I A4 For What It's Worth A5 Interlude II A6 Ardency A7 Elegy B1 Interlude III B2 Winter, Go B3 Interlude IV B4 Lumen Reign B5 Interlude V B6 Melancholia B7 Svengali
