Album Notes & Community Reviews
The New Zealand avant-garde musician presents an intricate synthesis of digital manipulation and traditional instrumentation. Roberts loops fragments of lethargic guitar chords and minimal percussion into slowly shifting, meditative structures. The resulting pieces blur the lines between slowcore rock melancholy and academic electronic glitch.
