| january 2007 release from james elliott aka ateleia. i raved about james’ last disc on his antiopic label; this one raises the bar with a sweet mix of glossy digital drones and punctuating regular rhythms.
just the kind of swooping, glacial electronics that we all swooned over @ the turn of the century, updated to modern spec. features contributions from david daniell, david grubbs, jon philpot, and sadek bazaraa.
between this disc, david daniell’s recent solo outing “coastal”, and keenan lawler’s “music for the bluegrass states”, xeric is fast becoming one of my favorite contemporary-music labels... |

ateleia is brooklyn resident james elliott. his music combines crystalline pulse with submerged aquatic drones and subtle ghost melodies. it's not so much oceanic as it is tide pool - the churn of the tidal impulse captured in miniature and crawling with activity. evoking the grand echo of my bloody valentine and the long standing tradition of psychedelic minimalism, but informed by contemporary electronic music, formal sleep is truly immersive. featuring contributions by david grubbs (gastr del sol), david daniell (rhys chatham, jonathan kane), jon philpot (presocratics, bear in heaven) and sadek bazaraa. |
