The Auditory

killedincars:

I hadn’t heard Ryan York’s music until this cassette. Out on Leaving Records, this EP (it’s just under 26 minutes) threw me for a loop. At first I thought this was going to be a tape of Flying Lotus/Brainfeeder beat scene music, what with its strong start in that direction. However, the second half of the tape turns out to be quite enjoyable drone (I’ll probably preview one other track) and ambient. These two distinct segments are united by this particular track, the most woozy of the electronic numbers that prefigure what’s to come later. The vocal snippets are much more billowy, the percussion spaced out and patient. This, then, is a very enjoyable middle ground between the two sounds on the tape, and it seemed the fitting choice. I hope you enjoy it.
