Blevin Blectum - Rapid Cooling

Breaking a four year silence with her strongest album to date, Blevin Blectum's "Rapid Cooling" 12-inch ( a precursor to the full-length “Gular Flutter” CD) confirms her gift for making electronic music that is allergic to cliche. Blectum's new songs throb with swarms of transient surface details, but they never come off as haphazard. Asked about her title, Blevin notes that "Gular fluttering is the pulsation of the upper esophagus in some species of birds in response to heat-stress," an oblique reference from avian anatomy that stems from her recently completed training as a veterinary technician. It's a title that perfectly captures the mysteriously organic shifts that pulsate across this heavily processed music.
