late to post because i used to worry about DMCAs. this fucker is on some level completely alone. monthly joints is certainly more palatable, but this album (from the start) had me twitching and humming of 'autech-step' to myself.
see him, please (10/18 or 19). even if it's already sold out. ignore the terror that is his voice (see video), and anticipate visuals that completely supersede bassnectar and big gigantic.
ingest DOI or 2CI and prepare to construct a city of dataflow. IODO-EVERYTHING.
the review quoted in the video:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15519-isam/
i can't get enough of reading pitchfork reviews. it's like learning to speak and comprehend a foreign language for years, and then suddenly finding the language is split into 'normal' and 'who the fuck let you form sentences?! you are an abortion doctor for words.'
"Tobin used to be a dependable, dedicated craftsman, but he's intent on transitioning to full-on sonic artist. He has the ideas: ISAM's pieces keep wandering into unmarked industrial zones, evoking broken things and blight. But this is heavy, foreboding music; Tobin hasn't yet learned how to balance his robust sound-art impulses with footholds for his listeners. He'll get there-- he's frankly too talented not to-- but ISAM feels like a transitional album, for his fans if not for him."
i understand that i usually shit out sentences that flow like a vodka-soaked tampon, but...come on.
do you remember constructing grammatical sentence diagrams in middle school? the best part of that review is that a sentence diagram of the entire thing would look like a mandelbrot set.
META ACCOMPLISHED
god i wish i had robust sound-art impulses with footholds.
