A duo using guitar and synthesisers with a live drummer, with the guitars more in a cut-up, sampled style and not easily recognisable, making a nice flow of sounds. Squelch-y, squiggly synthesiser tones at a slightly higher volume than the rest of the mix produce a very warm feeling. Melodic without real melody, just the way the sweet, screechy tones are used. Gurgling base, steady beat, churning a dub rock type sound, or one could even call it rock-hop. The live drums add a unique sound among the electronic ones, reminding of a more synthesised Tortoise sound, it has that same infectious beat to it. A pleasant and mellow listen.
