"the mysterious vibe of not know what lies around the next corner that feels artfully inquisitive that I am so attracted to..."
The jazz stabbed, artfully jumbled sonic light through post rock trees of "Seize Something", by American duo Two Lights featuring Joseph Christianson of Quartet San Francisco, feels like a beautiful walk through a city scape during a mild earthquake. The clean intersecting guitar lines amid anchoring bass with fluid drum shuffles, other fluttering percussions, trancy keys and sort of off kilter orchestrations is endearingly chill while at the same time offering interesting tensions around the perimeter of things like a mild belly ache. This is, at least, the sense I get. I mean it would be perfect sonic fodder for an episodic show like Severance or even Devs, you know one of those shows where the drama ramps up in subtle ways until it is not and I like that a lot.
Maybe it is the puzzling way "Seize Something" fits together, the mysterious vibe of not know what lies around the next corner that feels artfully inquisitive that I am so attracted to. Whatever it is, these atmospheres might inspires your own stories or your own songs.
LINER NOTES:
[Instrumental electronic duo from New Orleans, now centered in San Francisco and rural North Carolina. Tommy Jacobi and Adam Tate started playing together their ninth-grade year in Slidell, Louisiana, migrating from pop punk to funk to noise. At age eighteen, not long after Hurricane Katrina, they abruptly quit music, parted ways, and moved all over the world to find answers—monasteries, mountains, and mail rooms. Twenty years later, they are collaborating again on the atmospheric instrumental music that first brought them together, this time from 2,500 miles away: Jacobi in San Francisco, Tate in rural North Carolina.]
