Here's an album like that girl that you might like. You accidentally lead her on while you figure it out, and eventually decide, no, no this is as far as its going to go. I'm sorry. Perfectly nice, nothing wrong with you, really lots of things in the ol' "pro" column, but not quite pretty enough to get by on being pretty, not quite interesting enough to get by on being interesting, nice to have around, minute to minute sure, but...is this all there is?
Schnauss has crafted electronica on the cusp of post-rock, with its slow changes, its long bass tones, its glistening drones, it is to meant to stretch time without surprising. With song titles like Gone Forever, On My Own, In All the Wrong Places, and A Strangely Isolated place, there's even an air of pathos and mystery, mining Dayvan Cowboy ethereal drifting for all its world, stars to earth. But like that mysterious girl, you keep thinking there's more beneath the surface just waiting to be revealed and then...no, this is all there is, and you can't help but want a little more. A little more change, a little more craft, and you're almost just nearly seduced by its comfort... 3.5/5
