New Fennesz Track “Saffron Revolution” at Pitchfork

Posted on | October 3, 2008 |

Fennesz has a new track available from his upcoming album Black Sea available for streaming and free download at Pitchfork.

In other news, stuff like this is why I don’t write about music, I just point to it:

Beginning with some of Fennesz’ trademark neo-industrial gurgles, it folds in bits of guitar and strings rather beautifully, creating a cluster of sound that trembles, seeming to wait for something. And that something moves in gradually in the form of a massive cloud of distortion, a fine white mist of harmonics mixed with a dark undercurrent of rumbling bass. The tension between these elements is so well balanced, each individual element remaining in the mix even as the sound field becomes impossibly dense, that it’s no surprise that it takes a while to get it just right.

Yow.
