The clear shelled tape seemingly comes presented in a see-through red case- with the cover featuring a series of overlaying line patterns. As I’m reviewing a digital promo of the release that’s about all I can tell you about the tape…ooh aside from it ltd to twenty copies. Each track is simply titled Surface 1-5, with runtimes between one and ten minutes. And Bojesen says he was attempting process thinking through sound with this release.

We move from the circling angularity & slowly hatching alien unease of “Surface 1”, through to the glowing hoover-meets-simmering space-bound harmonic coldness of “Surface 2”.  Onto warbling ‘n’ pressing tone sear of “Surface 3”, with it’s rising ambient alien sunlight undercurrents.

“Surface 4” seems set perfectly between gliding 'n' glowing wonder, and sour purr ‘n judder- as if your malfunctioning spaceship is slowly drifting into a throbbing aurora borealis.  And “Surface 5” finds us sliding out with a blend of rising stars banks, and simmering black hole sourness.

I could well see Surface been a great sonic backing for reading a  tautly troubling-yet-trippy short sci-fi story. It would be interesting to see Bojesen expanded what he’s doing here to longer works, as I really think this type of thing would be most effective in say thirty to forty-minute slices too- so one can really get submerged in where intergalactic-meets-sourly seared.
