New Autechre EP - L Event

listening now. Liking it...

more of a challenging listen than Exai, but as always, I'm up for a new challenge if it is ae. I can tell this will be a grower, because upon first listen, I wasn't instantly impressed, but I'm starting to decipher the structures and patterns in the tracks now. tac Lacora stands out the most for me so far.

a mario shell noise at 4:44 and 5:25

 

 

edit: I haven't been able to un-hear it yet, so proceed at your own risk

4:44 yes, 5:25 not so much. nice find though!

L-Event kinda seems like a distillation of their oversteps tour sound. I mean the way the grooves form despite themselves and the menacing woozy atmosphere in general.

it certainly is drippy

This basically made my day. CBS news site.

this EP imo has a lot of "speaking" percussion, which can be a terribly cheesy thing i reckon, but on here it's so great!

like the 2nd half of tac Lacora, or indeed the whole of Osla.

This is pretty fucked stuff. It's great to hear them blurring the lines between sampling and synthesis again; this is the most processed their music has sounded since Draft or even Confield, imo.

Sorry. I'll stop now. :)

lol

I see the pixelface too

that's a dog oscillik

That doge knows evil when he sees it.

the face to the right of the dog

I keep seeing the cool rockabilly devil/skeleton man smoking a cigar, and I don't want to un-see it.

i got a beer and had a smoke and now i'm gonna have my first L-isten of L-event

sweat jesus yessss!!!!!!!!!!

Holy shiiiit

Right? RIGHT?!

unlike exai l-event is pretty dark and the last track is really sad too...to me

someone said it sounds like a soundtrack for the upcoming blade runner movie but i doubt they could make a movie to match the sf feeling of l-event

I guess I'm missing what everyone is seeing in Osla

I like where the song ends up, and it's nice to have a journey with the song slowly unfolding into something good.

But I'm just having a hard time with the bulk of this track.

However it has only been 2 listens, so we'll just see how/if things change

Edt: every other song is blowing my mind though. This is a top notch ep

If movies had soundtracks like l-event (instead of endless carl orff clones with a drum and an ooh ahh choir) you couldn't keep me out of the theatre.

very dark EP overall. the 2nd track sounds like another 'Autechre does scorn' thing, very nice. The first 1/4th of Osla for N is really hard to take though, that papery notched/phased snare sound is just really annoying sounding. Overall liking this as a cohesive piece more than Exai, sounds like the darkness and experimental vibes of Quaristice have invaded the Exai sound palette and stripped it of most of it's obvious melodic content

Lots of interesting spectral processing reminiscent of Vekos or Fleure, i wonder what they're using. anybody have any idea?

bells on track 2 take me back to ep7
