【ストック】HUERCO S.ことBRIAN LEEDS主宰の〈WEST MINERAL LTD.〉。EXAELとの共作に続いてNYCのBEN BONDYソロリリース。リズミックな遊び心。現行エレクトロニックの目の離せないリリースが続きます。リズミック、実験、意欲的なで複雑に構成されたステップ。面白い。

HUERCO S.、PYTHON 、SPECIAL GUEST DJ、PERILAやULLA STRAUS周辺アーチストと共にに、EXAELとの〈WEST MINERAL LTD.〉からのリリース、SPECIAL GUEST DJのレーベル〈EXPERIENCES LTD.〉のリリースで注目されたBEN BONDY、ニューリリースが到着しました。これまで以上に、アンビエント的な音から逸脱し、メタリックなデジタルの世界「REST」で幕開け、リズミックでカオティックな熱量を放出する「ASH IN EMERALD CASING」。デジタル、リズミック、じっくり電子音の世界もどちらも良い。 (サイトウ)

Over a year since we last heard from them, Huerco S’ West Mineral imprint shimmers into view for their first release of 2021 - a lush, jittery high of aerosolised ambient thizz and top shelf electroid steppers from Ben Bondy, highly recommended if yr into Perila, Jan Jelinek, Second Woman, Kindohm or Uon.
Last year’s “Sibling”, released on Special Guest DJ’s Experiences Ltd was one of the year’s subtle standouts,
but Bondy’s music refuses to tether itself to one sound or another, instead hovering around the fertile area between experimental ambient and outre club modes. “Glans Intercum” paces further sideways, toying with dub and drone ideas and sandwiching these sketches between buzzing drum workouts that squeeze texture from collapsing beat templates. Oscillating piquant shocks of vibrant energy with steeply opiated hypnagogia and OOBE-like sensations, the results locate a mind in flux, torn between the need to flex hyper-articulated limbs and becoming lost in discretely introspective ambient interzones.
The eight tracks course from a sort of kaotic power ambient energy to a lushly unresolved daydream serenity through alternately convulsive and temple-smushing turns. ‘Rest’ opens with a bitter explosion of digital scree that escalates into pill-belly jitters, and ‘Ash In Emerald Casing’ keeps toes off the ground with Rian Treanor-levels of pointillist hyper-footwork tekkers, contrasting with the DJ Python-esque slithering vox and atmospheric mulch of ‘Spangled (With Stella).’ From the skittish ‘Drip on Nape’ his circles start to bleed into one, with the aqueous shimmer of ‘Ven’ and Stella’s vocals returns on ‘2404’ to blur the lines between up/down, where ’Skizz’ enacts a sort of perpendicular grime and he ultimately comes to bliss out in the fragile glassine fractals wilting from the closing title tune.
