, and Lenker and Meek have passed the solo spotlight onto their drummer, James Krivchenia, for the release of his experimental sculpture,is an industrial undertaking, tiptoeing through the worlds of techno, quasi-grooves and background-music ambience while meshing them together.
Opening track “Emissaries of Creation” catalyzes the entire record’s gist: a dance floor falling into a black hole. Beneath the terror of the song’s swarming static are irresistible grooves just waiting to be released. Krivchenia’s strongest trait as a world-builder is his ability to conceptualize restraint. Where his first record,is a nervous, epic downward spiral of the weird, wonderful and forgotten poetry of social media.
But it’s the record’s centerpiece, “The Science of Imaginary Solutions,” that becomes Krivchenia’s most brash, screaming juggernaut. The track sounds like a group of people on fire, with a lone, warped microphone bubbling amidst the chaos. Instrumental music always faces the challenge of transcribing emotions and harnessing resonance exclusively through sound, and Krivchenia articulates joy in the buoyant “Culture Complex” by transforming glittering synths into a pacing, cheering crowd.
Krivchenia’s sonic moveset is one of poetic, deliberate, skittering impulses, just like Big Thief’s. Buttakes his band’s curious, earthly blueprint and uses it to render a perfect composite of what our own phone-obsessed apocalypses could be beyond that: epileptic dancing on the edge of sharp, mangled, A.I.-generated thunderstorms.
