Comment: behind Wixel hides himself Wim
Maesschalck, a Flemish (Belgian) musician and record label owner (Slaapwel). Wim
Maesschalck creates intimate soundscapes with the assistance of some other
musicians which are drenched with sublime lo-fi and bedroom esque feeling based
on fragile guitar chord progressions, some electronic undercurrents and truly
magic orchestrations (for instance, We'll
Never Get Out Of This Bed). The
album (Intro) starts off with
reversed guitar and vocal spasms reminding of My Bloody Valentine in its warm
bathing. Other tracks are minimal by its nature because of operating with slowly moving guitar chords, some
glockenspiel interventions, electronic effects and suggestive vocal chords. The
issue is short-running – there are up 7 tracks at a length of 20 minutes only.
However, it is enough to fall asleep to.
