Surrent and A Useful Idiot - Videodrone (2009)



9.4

/Space rock, Post-rock, Experimental rock, Avant-rock/

Comment: this album was issued on Modicum Of Silence, the recording label which has publicated a lots of releases by artists who are particularly related to State Ohio. It might be the most famous artist appeared under their umbrella is Brothertiger, the chillwave/glo-fi representative. Stylistically there are represented the demarcation of post-metal, experimental/avant-electronica, glo-fi, free folk, innovative post-rock, whimsical indie rock, and conceptual/sound art. However, this set of 7 notches concerns a kind of experimental rock journey which is imbued with spacey, delayed layers of guitar chords and repetitive patterns-loops surrounded by resonating space around it. Sometimes the layers are pronounced by some signal-alike reverberations originating in barges and the analogue synthesis and treatment of electronica, thus approaching rather to the realm of avant/experimental electronic music. In conclusion, it is a spiritual appearance indeed.
