Danish musician Jonas Munk is 1/4 of the group Limp, and this, hisdebut full-length release from Morr, would please anybody captivated byLimp's recently released debut EP, 'Orion'. Much like 'Orion', 'Ascend'features a number of lush soundscapes and swirling, spaced-out,sometimes slightly out-of-tune keyboard-driven melodies with theoccasional sprinkling of a sparse acoustic guitar riff. Unlike the Limpstuff, however, all the beats contained herein are electronicallygenerated, often hacked up, but never straying terribly far off-course.The cover art may suggest a more earthly focus but Munk is definitelylying on his back, looking up to the sky, tinkering diligently in hisbasement for hours after the nighttime hurrah, before the crack ofdawn, while the sound of crickets fucking fills the outside air. Headout onto the lawn for a breath of fresh air, lie on the grass and lookup, doze off and you're awoken by the repetitive pitters of theneighbor's sprinkler only moments before the sun rises. Get some sleep,you've got work in a few hours. Time to listen to the fruits of theovernight sessions on the subway ride in. Have a sip of morningcoffee,... very nice.
