Ovals & Emeralds
↳ Details
Skewed melodies and a bank of analogue equipment his lends each of these tracks a dusty, sepia-tinged character. ‘The Death of a Trapeze Artist’ rolls with awkward, muffled keys and swimming melodies, ‘Carosello Ellitico’ could be a cut from a lost 60s demo, and ‘Six String Marenghi’ briefly casts a fleeting sense of positivity before ‘Polycoulrophon’ jars like a late night flick through the TV channels. Whether these are just crooked snapshots, or broken interludes, ‘Ovals and Emeralds’ is worth it for the exploration alone.
