They say it’s unfair to reduce one’s album to a single track. But in this case, this is a one in a million piece. ‘Light though the veins’ is a weightless and shimmering neoimpressionistic shoegazer Ulrich Schnaussesque artefact which carries and varies in its nine minute playtime a very simple yet compellent melodic midgetpattern in a constant cumulation without culmination. Although there ain’t no innovation in this pastoral tradition drenched in deep basses and thwarted convolution beats, the record sounds in its better moments like a postnuptial tête-à-tête of Massive Attack beatsmiths and Brian Eno – in its not so good moments rather like a mystic Moby soundscape for an Arte infotainment program on sunken Atlantis.
