Niagara
Iluminismo
Boomkat Product Review:
Príncipe alums, Niagara, portrayed at their groggiest and most supine in a suite of starry-eyed ambient bleeps, post-dub techno tropes and new age flutes on the trio’s label, Ascender.
‘Illuminismo’ is their first (and last) entry of 2023, following the ‘Parva Naturalia’ (2022) retrospective, for Warp’s Disciples sublabel, with a beautiful exercise in atmospheric sound bathing. As is their style, one never knows which way they’ll bend from release to release, but this one is decidedly calm and heady, following their collective nose for a more spirited and therapeutic sound, as opposed to ruggedly kinetic. The five tracks serve to recall aspects of Jon Hassell’s 4th world fantasies as much as Xexa’s lovely recent debut on Príncipe, or even Nate Young’s gunky regression sessions.
Opening with a patch of spring reverb-spangled tintinnabulation and spongiform low end, the session gently extrudes minds thru passages of oily Radiophonic squirm to oneiric niches of the imagination where bleep melodies linger in moist air, hauntingly evoking Deckard entering J.F. Sebastian’s dilapidated workspace. The session proceeds to move outside into the artificial memory air textured with field recordings and dubbed out psychoacoustics as vivid and lush as recent Echospace explorations, eventually shoring up in sublime ritual space where the spring reverb-effected percussion melds with flute wist in a blissed kiss-off like Xexa meets Andre 3000 overseen by the ghost of Don Cherry.
