TARWATER, "ANIMALS, SUNS & ATOMS"

Tarwater return to Mute (US) and Kitty Yo (Europe) with this wonderful 11 part songbook.

Kitty-Yo (DE) / Mute (US)

Animals,

Once again, it's a delicate arrangement of beats, electronics and beat poetry influenced spoken/sung words. These post-kraut-rockers step away from the others with their daring choice to sing over the analogue synth-bath. Multitudes of sounds get layered in an almost Arab Strap sounding execution I've been told, but I really can't see it myself. Head bobbing slow cool tunes and pretty melodies litter the entire album, providing a great soundtrack for chilling out or slow dancing. Simple melodies but complex rhythms, percussion, effects and samples. It's lovely, but ends quickly.
