Excellent new release from this U.S. post-industrial artist (who was also active as MONSTRARE i.e.). Metallic drones, slow pulses, cold sounds & crackles, digital glitches, well structured..
“....Winter” brings back the cold atmospheres indeed. In addition to the razor-sharp glitches of “Apparitions” are here used more drones and subdued basses. The vanishing precise beats settle with encompassing soundscapes. And the whole thing, as usual with Klier, is built up on original sounds and a massive sense for personal, introspective art. Marking the result of a long evolution and the work of a insatiable musician, “Winter” is to stay a corner stone in Klier’s discography. Coming after two praised releases (“Apparitions” and Kreptkrept’s “Irregular dark beat”) and an appearance on “Klangmaschine” (the Mille Plateaux / Ritornell homage to click’n’cut innovators), this new album is one that definitely marks the coming of Cordell Klier as a mature artist, and not anymore a newcomer.In the words of Klier a break through album, “Winter” is a work which has to be listened to with open ears and mind, and which has a lot to offer. Sharp, precise, introspect, this album is set to envelop the listener in a cold, and still somewhat human atmosphere. Let the winter in, as its wind carries many a rewarding moment.” [label info]
