Mar 9, 2017While never able to fully grasp the Japanese sounds they adore, Visible Cloaks nevertheless have created an album along the axis of Fennesz’s Endless Summer and OPN’s Replica, an abstract electronic album that’s readily accessible and an immersive listen.

Mar 9, 2017Reassemblage is the finest LP yet to emerge from this diffuse scene, and it also brings a new set of ideas to the table.

Mar 9, 2017Like “Bloodstream”, some of the LP’s tracks are too striking to let slip into the background. “Terrazzo”, for instance, revolves around an Eastern woodwind melody that summons up images of tranquil waters lifting into the air and forming cryptic shapes. Meanwhile, cuts like “Screen” and “Neume” feature such interesting sound-play that it’s nearly impossible to concentrate on anything else while they’re unfurling before your ears.
