Though
“Touch Sand” might begin with a carousel-esque looping sound that has these
bits of vocals in it that kind of sound like “up” but aren’t, the tempo does
eventually shift to that of noise and becomes pretty comfortable there
throughout the rest of the tracks.
There is some odd percussion on the second song, which has a jungle vibe
to it, and then it also sounds as if there is a horn being blown at
random. Through whirrs and the court
noises it does also have some 8bit qualities.
What
I can only describe as skip steps (which you’ll know when you hear them) makes
way for the cricket whooshes and then it goes out into some territory between
Jay Peele and Justin Marc Lloyd. I say
Jay Peele because he comes out in everything these days, but there are these
parts of bottles clanking, pots and pans and just that general vibe I always
tend to get from him.
One
of my other all-time favorite noise makers in JML comes through in the sense
that this is frequency changes and distortion.
It’s just that whole idea of someone turning knobs in a very specific
and intentional manner that results in the sound that is this and that which
JML creates as well. It is nothing to
be attempted by anyone and is perhaps best left to those who do it well.
Really
though, any time you can say that something is a cross between Jay Peele and
Justin Marc Lloyd you just know it has to be that damn good to have that
comparison. Lamella does live up to all
of that and more. This is one not to be
missed for sure.
