Chord, the longstanding powerambient collective of Kyle Benjamin (First Responder), Phil Dole (X-Bax, Grand Kali Ma), Jason Hoffman (Anatole, Interactive Network), Sean McCarthy (Underhand, Beaumont), and Trevor Shelley de Brauw (Pelican, RLYR), have returned for their fourth full length Imperfect Authentic Cadence. Their initial shared vision has remained remarkably consistent throughout their tenure: to arrange longform pieces that favor texture and dynamics over elements such as melody, exploiting and exploring the sonic depth of a single chord per composition. Whereas previous albums (Flora, 2009; Progression 2012; GMaj7 2013) were largely improvisational, the new record encompasses a much greater degree of composition and structure, even pulling off an unprecedented chord change (albeit approached *very* gradually). The result is a dense web of slowly unfurling ambience and mood, melancholic and droning, but also uplifting and cleansing at turns. « hide |
