Comment: this handful of tracks created by the yankee James Harris`one-man project starts off with a little bit unpleasant, tightly abrasive pulsating noises (there can be drawn parallels upon the works of the likes of Konrad Schnitzler, and Manuel Göttsching, for example) which later will be softened, however, turning sometime into pronounced guitar fingerpicking or more rattling twangs either in the middle of lone chords of the bass drum or extensive air areas surrounding the listener around all corners. Furtermore, it involves some moments where you can be a fitness of how Harris can create hearttrending moments. On the other side, it used to convey to the listener concrete sounds and hazy ambient (dub) panoramas blended endeavours. However, the result is impressive and worth to be caught up.
