The boys (Conrad and Sam) once told me that when they’re too close to Kylie Minogue or Coil, they back off the track and do something else. I think those two poles are helpful with CS + Kreme music, which is neither about songforms nor shapeless. In many instances, the tracks are carefully plotted, a bit curly and indirect. The tones and grade of the sound are exquisite, landing in the fancy audiophile zone without feeling precious. Sumptuous and baffling.
