dean roberts

Augh!  I've done it again.  In atonement, then:

The new Dean Roberts on Ritornell is quite something.  I'm a big fan of his
work in Thela, though I never heard his "All Cracked Media."  This one, "And
the Black Moths Play the Grand Cinema," in addition to having a wonderful
title, is full of thrummed guitar, scattered percussion, and glitch-ridden
electronic overlays.  I'm not sure how I feel about the vocal components,
but perhaps they'll grow on me.  At just 2 long tracks, there's a lot of
digesting to be done here.  I'd recommend it, though, especially if you're
fond of the simple texture of detuned guitar, and especially if you were
taken with Wollscheid's "Airs" or Alog's CD on Rune Grammofon.  Nice to see
Ritornell continuing to release things in all different directions.
