Altered Zones

Within the first three seconds of this freshly-minted track from Jonas Reinhardt-- the brainchild of Jesse Reiner, that also includes Mi Ami's Damon Palermo and Citay's Diego Gonzalez-- you know exactly where its leading; or rather, all that the track is leaving behind. As has been the case with the past two Kranky releases and with contemporaries like Dylan Ettinger, Reinhardt's music is not for tight and narrow spaces. In "Eos, The Dawn," a cut from the forthcoming Not Not Fun LP, Music For The Tactile Dome, flickering beams of synthesizers pedal the opening passage along, enlivening to colourful swabs of keyboards à la Klaus Schulze over a pulsating bassline. But there is also a warmth and melodic sensitivity to this hypnotic track, as the confines of four walls effortlessly peel away, "Eos" leaves us floating among gracefully spinning celestial bodies. --Daniel Gottlieb, Altered Zones

MP3: Jonas Reinhardt: "Eos, The Dawn"

Jonas Reinhardt's Music For The Tactile Dome is out mid-May on Not Not Fun. Also on the horizon is a 12" and a double LP produced by Prins Thomas that will also be coming out on his label, Internasjonal. Two of those appropriately awesome, spaced-out disco tracks are available for streaming via their SoundCloud
