//orangenoise's last release, 'A Journey to the Heart of Matter' is a continuum of sorts. The entire album is woven around a uniform archetype using the same fabric. Perhaps it reflects a conscious assertion of control and an envisioned direction. It shies away from randomness, and merely oscillates around its mutually agreed-upon core. The two tunes that stood out for me upon an initial listening were 'Children' and 'Hopeful Creatures'. Perhaps both are going against the grain. Or perhaps, both exhibit a direction that might've been snubbed. 'Children', for instance traverses from the obliviously saccharine to the precariously doubtful. While doing so, it touches upon areas visited by the likes of Deerhunter or even Sonic Youth. 'Hopeful Creatures' is an impelling display of complex-time signatures. Quite a lot of math involved there, I'm sure.
