Got a few CDs in this week from Dying For Bad Music including this little number from cosmic synth droner Dronaement. It comes packaged with a totally rad little 10”x10” poster and a couple of tarot cards. The album itself comprises four 'Organ' tracks and two 'Cosmic Tape' ones. The organ tracks are all slowly shifting synth drones in the high and mid registers with a tasteful sense of balance and pace that you can really space out to. My favourite of these are the third and fourth, where he layers lots of tiny high pitched loops together to create stumbling, pulsating rhythms. In contrast the 'Cosmic Tape' sections have hiss and crackle and delayed twitches underpinned by throbbing bass pulses and simple, slow melodies. It's these tracks I like best, as they have a kind of Sun Araw-esque post-dub feel about them that's pushing all the right psych-minimal buttons for me right now. Good shit!
