The music Liz Harris creates as Grouper is often positively described as something to which the listener submits; through their song titles and deep blue, shimmering ambience, Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill and The Man Who Died in His Boat encouraged a lot of well-deserved comparisons to the experience of voluntary drowning. Raum, her collaboration with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, doesn't stray too far from her own experimentations with vocal loops and heavily effected guitar from a compositional standpoint—it's all decay and release, with only the impression of attack and sustain. |

Rhode Island producer the Range is releasing his debut LP, Nonfiction, for Brighton's bright, buzzy Donky Pitch label on October 14. "Metal Swing" is the final track from that album, a singular slice of sampladelia that's as hard to place as it is hypnotic. Built around a simple rhythmic template and patient, looping piano chords, "Metal Swing" spends its opening minutes buzzing modestly. It calls to mind the easy, floral melodies of Pause-era Four Tet or the liminal electronic spaces of early Caribou. The piano releases to clear space for the track's star: a sample of what sounds like an amateur British rapper reeling off a string of reasonable, mostly polite boasts. |
