radio people - Radio People

*Killer vinyl debut for Sam Goldberg's excellent Kosmische-driven 'Radio People' project after cassette releases for the Emeralds-curated Wagon and Gneiss Things labels. A must for followers of Oneohtrix Point never or, indeed, Emeralds* From the salty tear-infected circuit boards of Cleveland, Ohio, comes 'Radio People', Sam Goldberg's synthwave commission for the ever-excellent Digitalis imprint. For the latter half of the '00s he's been a part of the same underground noise scene as Emeralds, running his Pizza Night cassette imprint and releasing a handful of rare tapes on Gneiss Things, Wagon and Weird Forest, among others. Radio People is a relatively recent handle he's been using for a trio of now out-of-print cassettes on Pizza Night, and this is the first vinyl product of that chemically imbalanced sound. He could be considered a more lo-fi adjunct to Emeralds' prog developed chops, or Oneohtrix's hypnagogic sound sculptures, but still clearly communicates cosmic thoughts of vast kosmiche dronescapes and internal synth chaos with occasional, vivid flashes of pop hooks and Krautrock rhythms bearing a solitary tenderness of his own. He largely keeps his tracks concise and varied, skillfully sequencing 'Radio People' to gradually open up from gauzy beginnings of 'The Leaf Home', to plunge into the wormhole of 'Split Personality' and into the private pressing style introspection of ''The Leaf Home Pt. II (Vietnam)', with its sunken machine drums and gorgeously warm synth wisps. Best of all, is the brief thrust of 'Designer', the album's most direct and dramatic composition recalling Klaus Schulze and more recent Gavin Russom tracks in miniature, and certainly the 8 minute closer, coming off like some hallucinogenic 'Nam flashback with swooping rotor blade synths and a lysergic undercurrent of synth noise. This is album is a real find and a must for fans of Oneohtrix, or any of the numerous Emeralds-related projects. Highly Recommended.
