why we love this

Texture II plays addition and subtraction with what we know of rhythm. The entrance of digital elements are startling, yet introduced with intention. The familiar cadences of tempo and time are broken down into fragments, tumbling down a slope to find themselves assembled in some unexpectedly new form.

about the record

Born of a live, improvisational, collaborative session on Wong’s long-running Dublab show, both musicians regard their working relationship as among the most intuitive of their careers. Complimentary indeed: Wong’s background with guitar and Brin’s history on drums ensure a fitting pairing. Throughout Texture II’s five tracks, generally plaintive and curious, there awaits an intermittent cacophony—a sudden rush of percussive, synthetic rain.

Wong speaks of the improvisational sessions that comprised the bulk of the album’s writing and recording as a series of dialogues: a way of speaking, mutually, simultaneously, without fear or threat of speaking over one another. Through careful curation, the outer boundaries of songs are mapped and dragged (gently) into daylight.
