Daniel Padden — Pause for the Jet
Open up the album we have the weird string picking odd world music meets the blues and da-da indie vibe of Those tongues, with amassed stoned vocalising and harmonies over the top. There is water at the Bottom of the Ocean is sombre, creepy and spaced out solo piano work that’s underlit by vinyl crackle textures and odd embellishments of avant bow and saw. Narwhal is discordant rhythmic string pickings with banjo end trails, distant Indian rain dance drums and nervy lo-fi vocals. Bustle is playful and boytan brass work meets noir like horn atmosphere and drift with tape element settles. All in all there's 17 tracks and just over 35 minutes of playing time meaning the tracks don’t hang around long which makes this a active and shifting ride.
Really if you’re a Volcano The Bear fan- you’ll hands down love this, but I can also see it appealing to those who enjoyed weird stringed sounds and fans of quirky, weird, playful yet cinematic audio fare too.
