Released

The second album by the duo of Werner and Popp was their best together, an unpredictable concatenation of the mysterious warped and cracked electronics that they made their own. They borrow the crinkly, fabric-like electronic tones from Werner’s Mouse On Mars, and the close-to-collapse structures of Popp’s Oval, and place them in a quieter, far more subdued space – there’s something in this music that speaks of lonely airport gates, empty computer studios, abandoned mainframes: the sounds of distressed technologies left alone to sing their own song. Spooky but not unwelcoming, it’s gorgeous in its oblique melodicism.
