dudgrickbevins Like all the flophouse tapes I have, the handcraft quality gives the art object a nice presence. Luscious paper and hand-pressed letters look amazing together, though the contrast is low. The music matches. It feels human, alive and present. The combinations of instruments and field recordings are awesome but there isn’t really a foreground subject and I think that’s fine. I was able to work to this music and some in and out of direct attention to it. Recommend it.

about

"...But let’s regroup firmly on the serious side and just sink into this fever dream that Monde and Novick have conjured from realms beyond ours. No, this is no “New Age Shit,” this is the removal of the veil, the parting of the curtains, the deep dive into elemental existence. It’s like purple antimatter ripples as envisioned by a time-unstuck Angelo Badalamenti, but backward sometimes and slathered in more reverb. The overwhelming interstellar-ness of the cavernous production places you right in the middle of the void, the action blurred at the edges of your perception the only action occurring and the only action worth focusing on. As the tape comes for you – and it will come for us all – it will assimilate your humming atoms into its own massively buzzing energy field, and all will be right in the end."

Fascinating project. Like taking water and splitting it into its elemental hydrogen and oxygen, OYC has created separate musical worlds. Mr. Horberry’s ‘Vol 1: At Variance’ evokes awakenings and the sun peeking over the horizon at dawn. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Mr. Hulme’s ‘Vol. 2: Into the Pleasure Garden,’ are darker dreamscapes and evoke midnight. You can hear how these two voices create harmony in other OYC releases, here, though they each have a turn in the spotlig the Sanguine Penguin
