...more precisely, the transitional turmoil that leads to it, more obviously than Deerhunter’s full-length debut, 2007’s “Cryptograms.” That album interchanged relatively light pop songs with long, carefully orchestrated instrumental passages, all covered in a fog of ambient fuzz. The term “ambient” has long slipped out of any useful connotation—it’s become yet another trope, not of pop music, but of indie rock. “Ambient” is a way that an indie rock album should...

...times Cao uses the word noise with reference to the trio is impressive - they play "harsh noise" and host monthly noise gigs for "noiseheads." His list of influences reads like a Who's Who of noise acts - Osaka performance-art group Hijokaidan and its spin-off Incapacitants, Tokyo ambient-rock act the Gerogerigegege, U.S. conceptual-art group the Haters, Canadian noise combo the Rita and several others. "I turned to making this sort of music because rock is boring," says Cao with wholly unnecessary emphasis...

...history you travel. As ice formed in Greenland, year after cold year, bits of atmosphere were trapped in the layers. Drilling into the ice and fishing out samples--ice cores--that contain tiny bubbles of that ancient air can reveal the temperature, the concentration of greenhouse gases, even the ambient dust from the year that layer was formed. It's like tree rings but for climatic history. "In order to predict the future, we have to understand the past," says Minik Rosing, a geologist at the University of Copenhagen...

...sort of a green petri dish," says Potts Dawson of his latest venture. "We're learning every step of the way." They use the ambient temperature of the canal water, via a high-tech pump, to heat and cool the Water House. Roof-mounted solar panels provide the hot water, a wormery reduces food waste, and the restaurant filters its own "premium" bottled water on site. The menu, of course, is seasonal, all-organic and sourced as 
 locally as possible; dishes include ravioli of sustainable salt cod with truffle oil, and roast rabbit with saffron couscous and honey...
