Hobo Cubes/Jonathan James Carr: split tape
Not quite as blissy as some of the other CTatsu releases, this one’s a bit more unsettling and mysterious. The Hobo Cubes side has sporadic, delay-heavy beats, spectre-like synth flares, bubbling/swirling liquid-like vibrations, and halfway through, some chanting monk-like vocals. The last 4 minutes sound like a rhythmic, amplified electric fence frying in the rain, finally starting to singe and emit neon light, before getting abruptly cut off at the end of the side. Jonathan James Carr’s side is more swirling, unsettling laser-like sounds, flowing and crystallizing and mutating. There’s always a smooth electric organ-like drone underneath, which is pretty vibrant itself, but then there’s arpeggiating and blossoming tones on top of it. And sounds constantly warp and change and move through phases. It’s pretty neat.
