Primitive Motion: Two Ellipses
Really cool psych-dub-drone from Leighton Craig, who released an album on Room40 a few years ago. Gorgeous echo-chamber drone with distorted organs and spacey horns. I’m sick right now and this is definitely hitting the spot. Some of the tracks are instrumental, but most of them feature ethereal vocals, and some sort of hypnotic rhythm. “Unchanging Light” even has Suicide/Spacemen 3-like organ chords. “Upwelling” uses blipping drum machines not as a guiding rhythm, but spacing the sounds out slowly. “Starlight On The Sea” doesn’t have beats, but it uses chimes over a somewhat bouncy rhythm. “Window” ends the album with 9 minutes of sad keyboards, tape hiss, horns and vocals. Really gorgeous, I’m enjoying this one a lot.
