BEHIND THE SCREEN




Parallel Pyres structure their pop around precise, almost intricate keyboard loops, tinny percussion and vintage organ drone; it almost sounds mathematical until those cascading keys or hazed vocals splash some colour around the grid-like clockwork, like when you did bored-drawings in yr maths book to break up the geometric formalism of it all. It's a nice tension though, the deep hypnotic krautiness and the delayed flourishes of sound.

By "almost intricate," you mean one finger Casio tapping, right?

yeah i get that it's simple but i was meaning ALMOST intricate in the way the notes & percussive bits are webbed together and sound kind of primitive/delicate. WHATEVR~~
