BLACKEST EVER BLACK
Date of release: Nov 11 2016
It picks up where the nerve-damaged exotica of 2015's A Shimmering Replica left off...acerbic "surf"
guitar and synthetic salt-breeze fit for the Tropic of Yorkshire. Instant immersion in a potent, pungent
psychedelia that feels equal parts cosmic and aquatic. What Todd wrenches out of his instrument these
days is a language unto itself - a helical, grieving howl...a (super)natural efflorescence, beyond earthly
description or...ur-rock and post-everything. Equal emphasis is given here to pulsating machine rhythms
and lush keyboard textures, with contributions Mel O'Dubhshlaine. There were pre-echoes of all this in the recent Fluctuants and
Aero Infinite: but "To Make A Fool" feels like the fullest expression of something which was only glimpsed in those earlier works.
The side-long 'Spray Two' - gently eddying string-pads gradually slashed with fraught piano improvisations - is a masterpiece in
its own right. At its delirious peak, the whole thing boils over into brooding, arpeggiated noir-techno - Michael Mann's steadicam
roaming Leeds' B-roads, some kind of tangerine nightmare - before finally cooling into a bleary starfield of pure and sumptuous
hypno-tone. This is a trip, in the most skull-splitting, soul-crinkling sense of the word, but it soothes and heals as well. A circular
and transformative journey to the other side of the underneath and a landmark recording from one of the most adept and visionary
nodes in Britain's freakout underground.
