good timing as there is a new tBD album, 'fragments', due in a couple of weeks.that said, its nothing like the Bytes era.much deeper/moodier/atmospheric.hence why it hits the spot for me.

Tracks like Psilcosine (track 5 off of Spanners) build up and build up and just as it's about to get good it stops.
this seems to be a common technique for plaid, lots of tracks that do that, Do Matter, Little People, Coat, Drowned Sea. sometimes it works, sometimes it’s more just irritating, and i wonder where does it come from (the technique not the irritation). it’s like fear to be too pretty or too emo or thinking it’s a proper build up for when they have an especially haunting melody.
as for the answer, OTAKU, forever
