Comment: behind Beth Kleist is the collaborative aspiration by two man, Nils Quak, and Philipp Bückle. Their 16 tracks tend to drift between lush dreams and otherworldly reveries. It shifts between solemn and mundane. Between artificial and organic spheres. Between minimal sort of soundscapes and more accentuated, guitar-based effects and bends and repetitive patterns (for instance, the album starts off with a shoegaze-ish instance). Mostly it is filled in with every kind of sonic effects and phase changes (experiments with radio waves and barely audible frequencies and microtonal noise) which, in turn, would be suitable rather for chosen art venues and sound art festivals. In disregard of it the release preserves its warm feeling for the listener. All in all, the result is totally captivating which would be exploited as an instrument for curing the patients with mental disorder.
