When
one looks through a periscope, one should do so with their eyes and not their
mouth. “Blind Miles”, which could be a
reference to the eyes and not mouth, begins with a combination of beeps, synth
drone and a background of ambient fog. Guitar distortion makes it way into the
equation, and soon random notes and chords are seemingly being struck. It
is, for all intent and purposes, noisy.
When
you are taken into a vibe that includes the old west- tumbleweed blowing,
showdown at dawn sort of thing- the one thing you don’t really expect to come
along with it is a helicopter, but that is how we find the Side B of “Blind
Miles” starting and I’m interested in the crossover.
There
is some sort of lowtalker amidst the static ambience now, and I’m questioning
whether they are truly speaking or if it is a musical instrument made to sound
like vocals. Laser frequencies crash
back and forth as we then find a certain sense of ringing.
With
the name of Periscope Breath, you would expect this one to sound like it was
taking place underwater and that is not the impression that I get. Still, you could have a periscope on any
number of vehicles I suppose (A tank?) and so perhaps it instead refers to
that. In any event, you should come
along for the ride on this one.
