Repress! Alice Hansen & Chuck Blazevic aka Slow Attack Ensemble brilliant album of ambient minimalism & dream pop on Seance Centre.The duo named this album after the closing track on Phil Yost’s 1967 release Bent City, inspired by its prescient use of delay processing in elevating spare beatless arrangements into haunting arrays of sonic afterimages — an approach Hansen and Blazevic explore on this outing in their own way, with a few favoured instruments and a Chorus Echo and Revox in hand. The result is a collection of sparse, lightly dub-infused songs and instrumentals, equally icy and wistful, characterised by melodic fretless basslines, spaced-out harmonics, watery piano and marimba, hushed vocals, and tape echo treatments.Recommended if you like Orchestra Of The Eighth Day, Broadcast, Julee Cruise, Orquesta de las Nubes, Hydroplane...
