| may 2011 release ; ... after last year’s debut lp for amethyst sunset, here’s the second chapter in the life of john elliott & sam goldberg’s mist ...
... if the often “hands-off” approach of much of contemporary synthesizer music leaves you cold & waiting, consider this decidedly “humanistic” take the warm antidote ; throughout the album’s seven carefully assembled pieces there’s no shortage of grandiose sweeping melodies nor heartstring-tugging progressions ... even more laminar fare (such as the gorgeous float of “daydream” ; presented in full via the sound-sample) takes steps towards a pure cinematic modal float that eclipse even emeralds’ own stabs at pure emotive bliss ... |

"house" is the 2nd official full-length offering by cleveland, ohio duo mist featuring sam goldberg (of radio people) and john elliott (emeralds, outer space, imaginary softwoods etc) after 2009's self-titled debut effort on amethyst sunset.
a suite consisting of 7 complex, layered compositions shows new progression in composition and melody from the duo. from the lightning fast, bittersweet crescendo of "twin lanes" to the dramatic chord progressions of "i can still hear your voice", "house" is a certain expansion in execution and construction. tracks like "p.m." put a new take on the long-form mist style with cryptic alien vocoder and humid pad sounds, while "mist house" and "dead occasion" reveal new, complex territories that will most certainly please fans of the previous mist recordings.
