Molar
The Time and Motion Studies (False Walls / fw05)
Abstract,
experimental electronic fare. Molar is that most unusual of such
acts: an honest-to-God trio. Three guys who work really hard to
create some of the most impressive sonic explorations I've heard
in quite a while.
Most
intriguing is the way these guys use rhythmic loops. A lot of the
songs here have a central structure, but the main elements meander
so much that they become almost counterpoints. I like that. I like
to hear new and interesting ways to define a rhythm.
There
are also a couple of laptop pop moments, which initially surprised
me. But then, if you're going to go to the edge, you might as well
return fully geeked out, right?
I
love this sorta stuff. It kinda wanders in and out of my mind, freeing
up previously frozen synapses and allowing me to really kick off
some awesome thinking. I know, music doesn't have to be so practical,
but when it works, why bitch? Quite the brain laxative.
