Theclosing - Theclosing [CD]

theclosing debut self-titled release for Portland independent label Circle Into Square embraces a wide variety of influences. The sputtering pulse of modern hip-hop comes out in tracks like "rrroar"; "nyejreska" takes on slow simmer of a steamy downtempo IDM come on; ambient roots start to show on the pinging album closer "m4".The songs may come from different parts of the band's collective brain, but they connect perfectly on record.
