Those familiar with the first SWIMS album by Roméo Poirier will likely be as thrilled as us about the juxtaposition of his soothing aquatic ambience, with the intensity of Robert's work. The result is a wonderful symbiosis. The distinct sound of both artists conversing, merging, dividing, submerging.
Please download, enjoy, share with a friend and if you haven't yet - check out Robert's Finomehanika album:
“Delicately assembled combinations of organic and electronic sounds, wherein piano, field recordings and synths are made indistinguishable from one another in a layered motion of abstract ambience and gratifyingly crunchy textures”
- Steph Kretowicz, The Wire
"Sound collages that capture the feeling of moving in and out of sleep."
- Joshua Minsoo Kim, Tone Glow
"Finomehanika’s cover art is indicative of the music contained inside. The exposed corrugated steel, peeling paint and futurist structures that interlock hint at a tussle between the familiar and otherworldly, a synthesis of real-world materials and a preternatural focus reserved for the most experimental of compositions."
- Matt Blair, If-Only

An excellent collaboration yielding melancholic and unsettling looping noise with ethereal vocals, tinged with a bit of 80s horror synth. Highly recommend! cedarshims

This is a especially minimalist set of material for Huerco S. There's a lot of really beautiful additive/spectral synthesis work on this record. For my tastes it's not as compelling some of his earlier work, but the highlights get into some fantastically bizarre stylistic intersections, driving the clangorous palette of the record toward footwork or cloud rap for instance.
