Pellarin's second full-length sees him taking a whole different direction from his 2002 debut on Couchblip.
Over the course of 6 deep, dubby, techno-ish tracks he explores the possibilities of a custom-built delay setup and one single sample. Always skimming around genres, it’s never quite dub, never quite techno, but definatly deep and engaging. Nods towards Pan American and Porter Ricks’ or Vladislav Delay’s work for Chain Reaction are audiable, but Pellarins sound is also very much it’s own. All tracks are recorded “live”, ie. not a predefined sequence, creating an evolving structure to the album and making it work more like a whole entity than a collection of individual tracks. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a very hot day.
