Where Reality Fades
Mønic carries a crackling torch for post-bass ambient on his most substantial new offering since 2020, drifting in cinematic dimensions akin to Burial’s beat-less scapes, Phillip Jeck or Tape Loop Orchestra.
A veteran of D&B and dubstep with Kryptic Minds, who transitioned into grey area techno over the past decade, Simon Shreeve aka Mønic’s music now works in a deep vein of atmospheric rot indigenous to the UK. ‘Where Reality Fades’ continues his darkside fascinations across an immersive hour of drone gloam and textural intrigue, opening out from the elegiac appeal of ‘From This Life to the Next’ across a 13 minute sequence of decayed choral loops akin to Andrew Hargreaves’ high moors scapes on ‘Where Reality Fades’ and the gauzy, distant allure of war horns heard over the hill in ‘Resting Place’.
It lightens up a little for the drizzly melancholy of ’Silence is All That Remains’, whilst the willowing string figures of ‘The Final Goodbye’ feed Laura Cannell’s folk improvisations slowed to a crawl, and ‘New Blossom’ resolves the anguish with quietly optimistic, if deathly slow, piano phrasing.
