Boomkat Product Review:
Long time Warpers Ed and Andy return with a cauldron full of sonic shenanigens for their latest long player for Warp : 'Spokes'. Running eleven tracks wide and schitzing across the IDM spectrum, the album delivers some diverse new work, highlighted by the opener 'Even Spring'. The track heads off with an ethereal vocal and music box melody that floats and shimmers across the speakers, weaving a rich if somewhat playful tapestry of sounds, only to be upturned halfway through by a more acidic and broken flavour, retaining the euphoric feel of some of their earlier work but with a more solid sound. 'Upona' is another thing entirely, building up from from the most minimal froth, the synth line that leads the track is slowly extended until a full blown rhythm line emerges backed with tweaking synths, the melodies start to shine as the notes become more evident and the feel harks back to mid-period Autechre with a bassline bouncing quite furiously in its speed while spinning across the octave's. 'Buns' also surprises with its timestretched melodies dragged across the drums, while all manner of dsp wizardry adorns its slopes, like a dirty London club rampged by robots, a solid track that neatly rounds off a cute, varied album. Check.
