Comment:
While this issue was plotted out to be an alternative rock opera to depict it
does mean the artist must have been some aesthetic restrictions and
prescriptions for writing process. In any cases, Chancius comes out of
Brooklyn, New York, USA and the listener could readily perceive an
exquisite, intelligent touch being so characteristic to many artists
from the metropolis. By the recent case, Chancius' sophomore release
enthralls the listener by straddling on the border between the
restrained and unleashed. All of that turns on expectations in the
listener to wait on what will be happening next. On the other hand,
the artist controls the process totally allowing no indiscretions and
turnoffs. Though he is slightly aloof with regard to the listener his
posture suits finely with the music and overall conception. Musically
it is an example of how quite austere artsy guitar playing is
adeptly imbued with electro-acoustic sonic effects and electronic
knacks. At times, at most dreamy glimpses the course is led by
affectionate carillon playing and loopy orchestrations (at
Big
Wave). Obviously the artist is inspired by the local No Wave
scene (and by its forefathers the Velvet Underground) and
representatives of contemporary art rock/indie scene like The
Antlers, Owen Pallett, Terrible Terrible, Foxes In Fiction,
Panda Bear. However, those possible influences come in indirectly and
rather on the base of similarity thereby allowing to create relatable
possibilities between cultural layers and traditions in general. I am
pleased he is not trying to spoil the concept with magniloquent
details and bloated stances. He has set out a plot to operate within
certain borders, however, having enough territory to move forward and
then back, by right to left, from bottom to top. As an ancient Greek
philosopher once said due to the borders it is possible to exist at
all and only this allows you to go beyond, to go to the other side.
Psychedelic, isn't? He will not crush himself in the playing out of
his genuine role. Listen to
Hologram King and you will get
convinced this match was made in heaven to save unfortunate souls. In
a nutshell, I fairly recommend listen to this 11-notch gentle bright.
