RIYL: Add N To X, FRAK, industrial, beat-heavy washing machines
Following distantly on the heels of Decrresscenndo, and originally titled “Stop Faking Sense,” The Beige Album melds the two sides of the Boron coin: the “Bor” of textural drones that cleanse the mind with the “on” of propulsive beats, vocal and finger chanting, and throbbing low-pass fit for teen goth sex. Collaborations by the likes of happy noise musician Crank Sturgeon, beeper-clicker Mary Clare Brzytwa, unblinded distiller Stefan Jecusco, far-out guitar guru Larry Yes, and Field Hymn’s own Adderall Canyonly make for a rich and varied departure from a departure.
His latest output for Field Hymns is fashioned to appeal mostly to toll collectors, rabid squirrels, HVAC specialists, and low-IQ teens, rather than forward-thinking Los Angeles DJs. Crafted far from that sunny bleeding edge in the mushroom-infested-and-ingesting state of Oregon (and a part of town known as Little Sheffield), The Beige Album is a diary of delicious trauma brought on by witnessing Daphne Oram locked in an embrace with that guy without his shirt on in the “Twilight” movies.
