THE REVIEW
The mirror of a musical soul reflected in the eyes.
If we want to be poetic. But if we are only interested in sound as a sequence of binary codes, let's say that when avant-garde and left-field hip hop, a direct descendent of both the most expansive trip hop and the most rarefied IDM, wants to try interpreting kraut rock (ambient, cosmic, or ethnic), by passing through a soft yet dense stratification of beats, noises, glitches, sketches, voices, silences, and interruptions, then, most probably, it would sound like Caural.
Translating all this into a more identifiable and readable language for those who need points of reference, we could summarize by saying we are close to a "psychedelic" version (could we even hypothesize shoegaze?) of Prefuse 73 and Boards Of Canada, perhaps even revisited from a soul perspective.
Nostalgia, melancholy, romanticism, and good feelings, but also a lot of applied creativity; this is the non-sonic summary of "Mirrors For Eyes."
