Sferic レコード& CD

Review: It's amazing to think how close this record was made to its predecessor, Tiblsc's critically acclaimed (and rightly so) debut album, Delusive Tongue Shifts. Which isn't to suggest for a moment that the two are particularly different, more just the first outing was so close to perfection it's hard to imagine anyone having found the time to have other material ready to go almost immediately after the initial batch.

Hypertranslucent picks up where its older sibling left off, and runs with similar themes and sounds. It glides and floats its way through eight tracks of stunning ambience, quiet but impactful, opiate but clearly formed and coherent. The musical equivalent to a lucid dream - producers fully in control of every moment, but with the sense of reality and rules drifting into the ether.
