Lexaunculpt was sort of an oddity in my recent CD purchases in that it was, for the most part, inorganic and harsh electronica.

A great introduction to Boards of Canada for those of a short attention span.

It is quite a little oddity but what a beautiful oddity it is.

There’s not one mediocre song on the CD, and it’s amazingly consistent and organic.

Takes Darla’s signature drum n’ bliss sound and gives it a healthy and heartfelt upgrade.

The music is effective in creating pleasantly impressionistic moods, but it seems like there should be more.

The group’s intriguing use of jazzier elements ensure that their sound more than stands on its own.

Even diehard fans might find their patience tried as they try to make their way through Onko’s 67 meandering minutes.

While Hebden’s sonic layering can be bewildering, there’s a definite sense of exploration about it that never disappears.

Whereas before I had heard a formless jumble of sounds, I found something beautiful and truly intriguing.

Maduro’s music has plenty of room for development, but this EP proves he’s got a solid foundation.

The title track blends acoustic guitars, turntables, Middle Eastern flutes, and fragile female vocals in a dark, hypnotic manner.

Ever so sweet and it will bring a smile to the face of even the most hardened cynic.

This album will turn any mundane drive to work into an epic journey down the Autobahn.

An attempt to bridge the gap between Mark Van Hoen’s harsh earlier work and his most song-oriented material.

The album’s focus is more intent on creating dreamy textures rather than anything more concrete.

Guns, Cars & Sitars flows with a sense of style and funk that is deeply infectious, exotic, and most importantly, bad ass.

Despite all of the processing and digitization, an incredible amount of organic warmth emanates from this album.
