Emptyset - Borders

Out on Thrill Jockey on 27 January.

neat-o.

Aw yiss

Track sounds pretty meh tbh. Maybe there's better stuff on the album.

yeh dunno lol. They kinda evolved their overall sound to be more happy kinda? Seems odd, less deep and massive, dunno...

G'd to hear this

I don't know if more happy but this is defo more organic probably due to actual (electro?)-acoustic instruments. I like it anyway also. Suitably dark for the shit going on.

There's actually some pretty decent stuff on this album. It's definitely one of those you've gotta be in the mood for and sort of know what you're getting into with it, though. Would be one that benefits from listening to HQ instead of streaming on Spotify like I'm doing right now with fucking Madea ads in between tracks and all.

well said on both points, i'd never describe emptyset as "happy", but it definitely seems a little "less-dark" and more organic than Recur did... It seems more ambient than rhythmic as well, I still dig it though.

on that note, did you man know that one of them did a little folk album that is actually quite nice
