I’ve not come across Ekhein yet, but this is apparently EK22, so who knows what nuggets I’ve missed. Ten Thousand Things is the collaborative project of Scott Reber, who works solo under the alias Work/Death and also runs the tape label Three Songs of Lenin and Geoff Mullen who runs Rare Youth and works solo under his real name. The tape opens with a brief blast of grit, giving way to submerged instrumentation and lost railway station announcements suggesting there an obscured field recording somewhere in the mix. The ensuing drone builds across the remainder of the side gradually picking up momentum before dissipating into the run-off. The flip is a more visceral offering, swirling sheets of guitar skree and sand-blast enveloping each other for the duration with occasional glimpses of string scrabble before unapologetically spluttering out. Good stuff.
