As CARRIER, a new alias project launched in 2023, he has already released works on *THE TRILOGY TAPES* and *FELT*, and by the end of last year had successfully packaged this self-released track—which had previously premiered online—GUY BREWER, whose name is making waves as a pioneer of contemporary sonic technoid sounds, presents his new 12-inch! Set against the fluttering of high-pass percussion breaks, the kick drum is trickily layered in a deconstructed halftime rhythm In “Slow Punctures” (sample 1), he subtly weaves in syncopation created by intentionally offsetting woodblocks and gamelan chimes, showcasing a sound that’s truly at the forefront of techno through precise control of both the number of sounds and the overall acoustics. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
