tHÖAm - Eye shadow (2011)



9.0

/Downtempo, Ambient, Experimental electronica, Chill out, Modern classical, Crossover/


Comment: in principle, it is a pleasant shift between racous beat-induced (from downtempo to more aggressive, breakbeat-like developments) appearances and more atmospherically/and hauntingly designed bows. Indeed, being in such a crossbreed-ish situation the artist`s sound used to evoke and delete memory snippets from your very consciousness. At times it reaches the highest parametres of beauty (Opaque). Of course, this 13-track album is a quite demanding one needing more for profound listening times. If to regard the possible kindred souls of tHÖÄm, however, I recommend listen to the likes of Mank, ElectricWest, David Schomber, Naono. However, you can perceive some similarities with James Leyland Kirby`s oeuvres as well.
