It's the first record to land on his Planet Mu sub-label, Timesig, since 2012's stinging Fool The Detector EP. You could call that one quintessentially Snares: full of jumbled opposites-ludicrous wit and severe solemness, digital and analogue hybridity, orchestrated chaos-it was as fun as it was disturbing. But records like that obscure the sheer craft and studio obsessiveness of the artist and his creative process.
If the result still sounds like a logical continuation of his previous work, that's probably because this sort of hardware has long been a part of his playbook. Incidentally, this is one of the more beautiful Snares records in recent memory, relaxing some of the more tiring qualities of his music-the unrelenting abrasiveness, the taste for a certain gynecological grotesquery-in favor of moments of relatively straight prettiness. He will never qualify as "easy" listening, of course: "Slightly Bent Fork Tong v2" laces its globular synth-funk with warped chimes and ringing bell tones, while electronics groan and harrumph deep in the bowels of an inscrutable jitter titled "She Married a Chess Computer in the En.
Each song was approached from the ground up and dismantled upon the completion of it's recording. The goal was to develop songs with interchangeable structures and sub structures, yet musically pleasing motifs.
12 Songs, 43 Minutes.
Non-technical listeners might also find some solace in the fact this sounds remarkably like the kind of late-90s IDM which directly preceded Funk's entrance on the music scene. Much of it could pass for offcuts from Aphex Twin's classic Richard D James Album, the detuned saw-waves, the rippling snares. It was forward facing, boundary breaking for the time. With the Venetian Snares album, it's working the other way round; looking back to analogue synthesis but using it to replicate the sound of digital hardware. It's Venetian Snares going back to the root of his influences by means of a longer-established medium.
