ReiRea : mallow dents

mallow dents by ReiRea starts off with "hume soup"
it sounds like a busy and bustling subway station,
with lots of humans milling around, but in an abstract
way it doesn't sound like a field recording, it could also
remind one of water and the ocean especially when the
moaning delay whales sounds come in,

track two goes in a whole different direction
beginning with a screeching feedback yelp,
that sounds human, like a screaming witch,
it continues on with one note amplified and
distorted sailing over a underlying bass pulse,

track three is more of the same one sustained note,
think E-bow and delay,
track four "Impale" is quieter and has a nice repeating
loop that keeps skipping back abruptly & keeping your attention,

the album is docile and maybe simplistic,
and im not sure how many times i will
end up spinning it after this review,
but its a solid release, it has a passive and
industrial vibe like falling asleep out side a factory,

the art and liner are gorgeous aswell,
