AMULETS - BENEATH THE SURFACE
never anything 2016, edition of 50
latest from AMULETS courtesy NEVER ANYTHING - i'm a bit late to AMULETS, a few months is all it took for him to take the weirdo tape scene by storm, unleashing a barrage of tapes last year -- his style is multifaceted, a blend of shoegazing guitar, shimmering synth, loop experimentation and tape manipulation, sometimes with lethal doses of crushing distortion, searing noise and a smattering of sci-fi effects - BENEATH THE SURFACE kinda reminds me of TRESILAZE's ATLAS (still available via bandcamp) with it's NATURAL SNOW BUILDINGS / YELLOW SWANS esque vibe and because it doesn't stay in one place for very long - BTS further establishes AMULETS as one of the preeminent purveyors of the "new weird american drone" scene alongside artists like LOST TRAIL, BRAEYDEN JAE and PETER KRIS
