A perfect after-hours accompaniment for contemplation and restoration.
Given the bewildering bombast and discombobulating cacophony kicked up by the man’s day job calling, the 8-bit-gone-nuclear electro duo F*** Buttons, you’d expect this debut solo venture from the excellently named Benjamin John Power to deliver similarly screaming torrents of circuit-board-sourced sonic violence. But rather than serve up more of the same as Blanck Mass, Power opts for a softer, warmer approach, summoning instead the ambient textures of acts such as Fennesz and Stars of the Lid, and even Moby at times. The end result, this 10-track collection, mightn’t startle to the same degree as Buttons’ more powerful (no pun intended) work; but it does sing with an otherworldly elegance, inviting the listener to place aside their worries for a little while and enjoy a session of consuming escapism.
