#2415 Mind Over Mirrors - The Voice Calling

Slow-shifting electronic woolliness - each song built on the back of a chiming little loop that shifts slowly if at all, while the occasional vocalization or silvery leads makes its way across the top. It is geese in the distance, a middle-speed video of the light changing in a forest, or across a windowsill.

Which almost sounds like an endorsement. And the core loops _are_ nice, packed with fuzzy texture that's worth rolling around in your hands. But there's not enough here. It's all icily busy, with no real sense of place or emotion or motion, and all the songs stick too closely to the same blueprint (the final track's swings at Krauty apocalypse are too little too late) 2.5/5
