Balmorhea - Clear Language: Reworked (2018)

An illustrious cast including William Basinski and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma present faithful reworks of Clear Language, the 2017 LP by Texan shoegazers, Balmorhea.

They’re in trustworthy hands throughout, with notable highlights in Christina Vanztzou’s nervously unsteady meld of electronic and acoustic spheres prone to drift into The Caretaker territory on her take of Sky Could Undress, and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma in gloriously strung-out mode with the same track, while Basinski works his alchemic magick on Lost In Translation to utterly transportive ends, like a sonic analog to Idris Khan layering myriad desert panoramas.
