w. baer ~ Spalting
At first, Spalting hangs low to the ground, part of a dense electronic cluster that soon starts to throb and rumble in its nebulous hive. Distorted rattles and grinding, slightly dissonant textures start to intermittently fire, only to quickly drop out.

Software of Seagulls ~ Sunrise Industry
If paired differently, the names of artist and album would make more sense: “Seagull Sunrise” and “The Industry of Software.” The fact that Chris Perren mixes them up is a sign that the album is a hybrid. (We also doubt
