Ah, I remember these! That Panic Arrest label, my July '09 review and 'all that jazz'.. I'm sure it's as fresh in all of your minds as it is in mine (ie, as a motherbastarding daisy)! The first side of this tape sounds much like I described back then: pretty, vaguely Kranky/Constellation-ish ambient post-rockiness, very well executed and with some fine subtleties, while the second side veers more towards that Fridge-y sound which they were also rocking a little bit back then, peppered with some droneyness and an almost Moteer-type feel. Good stuff.
About the artist: Telekaster is Berlin-based musician Matthias Grübel and video-artist Stefan Bünnig. Together they create a universe of abstract narration and associative beauty consisting of Grübel’s shimmering noisy soundscapes and Bünnig’s perfectly crafted yet always universally minimal real-film sequences.
About the cassette: Telekaster’s new cassette-only release At how many beats per life begins by conjuring a hazy aura that quickly mushrooms into something quite disturbing, sort of like being caught by a blast and fluctuating into milky atmospherics instead of actually disintegrating. Sort of. The cozy textures that kickstart side B slowly but surely breathe life into a thick wash of effects that turn the song into pure headphone gold. This Side B contains something of wondrous beauty, I shit you not. Hard to pin down, Telekaster is ambient music that refuses to stay put when it comes to sedation, or something wrapped in hiss you should probably be listening to. Or something. It is just very good.
