Recordings of the brothers playing ‘real instruments,’ electronicized beyond recognition, form the foundation of the tracks. Friends’ voices, birds chirping, and retro audio clips are mixed into the electronic medley. The result? An organic-electronic fusion of past and future, rural and urban, earthy and space-age. Tape-decks in hand, the Sandison brothers are forging the next era of electronica...
