A refracted hall of mirrors south of the stream…a duo of perturbed deities tramping invisible floors of The Concrete House…The Horniman's display cabinets subsumed via hand-built harmoniums…compositional time slots allotted by Mother Lung as she saw fit…so slow sloe - the incremental birthing of a billowing behemoth…sand with soda & lime please… IBM - MORDANT MUSIC ------------------------------------ Written and produced by Natalie Williams and Zuleika AvTes, Mordant Music bring forward this 20-track avant grade masterpiece from Glass Isle. Melding together ambient IDM, experimental electronica and a cacophony of field recordings, this self-titled long-player is like nothing else we’ve heard in 2015. From the dystopian crescendos of Time-Lapse to the submerged discordancy of When The World Ended, the brand of off-kilter electronic drones and soundscapes utilised on this album across its 20 tracks are truly singular. Fittingly, the record bows out on a near 16-minute opus of world sounds, synthetic auditory clamour and masterful composition. - BLEEP https://bleep.com/release/59614-glass-isle-glass-isle ------------------------------------ Mordant Music hits square between the oculars with Glass Isle's debut album of diaphanous, eldritch ambience.
