MAGIC ARROWS - SHORTWAVE NOW
illuminated paths 2016, edition of 25
hypnotic cosmic synth with rhythmic undercurrents beneath a supremely zoned igloo of infinite reverb, adapted from blueprints of TONY CONRAD WITH FAUST's OUTSIDE THE DREAM SYNDICATE and MUSIK VON HARMONIA, maybe kinda like TIM HECKER reinterpreting SPACEMEN 3's DREAMWEAPON - the driving rhythms become more overt on the last two tracks as a splashy lo fi drum machine does its best to cut through the haze, but it can only do so much, the result is kinda like the surreal late night vibe of late 00s EXPO 70 and SUN ARAW, drifting out there among HERBCRAFT, KYLE LANDSTRA and SYLVESTER ANFANG II offshoots BEAR BONES LAY LOW and HELLVETE
