You can
tell going in that a cassette called “Rest/Relief” is most likely going to be
quietcore and RVNES does not let down one iota. Everything that you’ve ever wanted to know
about terms like “ambient”, “drone” or “minimal” music can be found within this
cassette right here, so let RVNES take you on a crash course.
Amidst a
sort of guitar sound one of the only slight bits of variation you can hear in
here is a bit of guitar drone. Aside
from that, the drone is mostly made of fog.
It’s peaceful, serene and all of the good things that it was meant to
be. It is the sound you play alone in
the middle of the woods when all else is quiet; it is the sound you play when
you’ve come home from a hard day’s work and take a bath to relax.
I’ve
never been a big believer in the genre of “new age” or that music could really
be “zen” because I like to think about meditation as being something done in as
much silence as possible. That being
said, this cassette does somehow transmit almost as close as you can get to
silence without being silent, so maybe there is something here about all that
and it actually does fit in with music.
