Former Pulled Apart By Horses guitarist James Adrian Brown’s debut album is an eerie but slick series of beats, sitting somewhere between Boards Of Canada and Gold Panda.
His choppy electronics are heavy but beautiful, warped yet melodic. These paradoxes make his sound interesting. Contradictions in sonics are always welcome with me. He may not be original but what he does, he does very well. ‘Generator’ in particular slaps, real classic “reach for the lasers” distorted beats. There’s possibly something in the water in Leeds just now. I’m in.
Released via Castles In Space on January 30th
