Beehatch - Brood (CD, Lens, Progressive/experimental)
The second full-length release from Beehatch, the duo consisting of Mark Spybey (Dead Voices on Air, Reformed Faction, Download, zoviet*france) and Phil Western (Download, Floatpoint, Kone, Plateau). We were as impressed as hell with the debut self-titled Beehatch release...and we're pleased to report that Brood is just as good or perhaps even more satisfying. The album consists mainly of experimental sound collage compositions but there are also three vocal tracks. The first ("On Ideal Wings") almost sounds as if it could have been an outtake from Brian Eno's Before and After Science album. But that's where the similarities end, as the remaining two vocal cuts ("You Read Me," "In Silence, Too Silent") feature voices drenched in so many effects that they blur into the instruments and become downright spooky. The sound collage pieces are peculiar and perplexing. Spybey and Western are both experts in the field of electronic music and, as such, the sounds they create and/or combine sound light years better than the dribble spewed out by the average generic twenty-first century computer geek. Droning, ambient sounds combine with soothing warm electronics to create a strangely inviting world where anything can happen. In addition to the vocal tracks, we particularly dig "Edison Medicine," "Du Du Horn," "Softly Said," and "Breaking Shit for Mark." Housed in a stunning white cardboard sleeve which includes four cool limited edition artcards. Truly strange stuff, recommended... (Rating: 5+++)
