Mukqs: Eye Frame

Neuer Stuff von Max Allison alias Mukqs. Alle Tracks kleine Glitch-Drone-Noise und Ambient Meisterwerke. Klingt wild oder? Ist es auch wie immer.

Durchaus ein spur düsterer als gewohnt aber steht ihm gut :)

Eye Frame, the new Mukqs album marking a return to Orange Milk, is an hour-long subversion of ambient music tropes, complicating its sublime drift with ambiguity and volatility. Often the listener is given the impression of endless sonic space only for sounds to appear at hyper-close range, something jittering next to the ear and just out of sight. Soft pads of synthesizer swell and sigh, but they never settle. On “Megabaa,” a radiant arpeggiated pattern emerges, but quickly becomes interrupted by a reversed high-pitched whirring and complete audio dropouts that dance in counter-rhythm. Blissful passages seamlessly melt into the quietly unsettling, with a constant rustling at the margins. Take a long, luxurious dip, but don’t get too comfortable.
