<a href="/tags/lone-bison">Lone Bison</a> releases ‘Longshore Drifting’, a twelve-track album combining synthesizers, programmed rhythm, guitar, sampled vocals and a growing confidence in more direct singing. Nick Bonell began the project by obsessively programming a Hydrasynth before gradually moving from vocal loops and processors toward complete songs.
Tracks such as ‘Rise Up’, ‘Chemistry 88’, ‘The Power’, ‘Overcome With Love’ and ‘Minimal/Maximal’ move between concise electronic pop, groove-based experiments, krautrock, post-punk and soundtrack atmosphere. The album reflects an artist deliberately changing his sound palette after several records created in quick succession. ‘Longshore Drifting’ may suggest aimless movement beside the sea, but the production is anything but accidental. Even the drifting has apparently been programmed in obsessive detail. Explore more in <a href="/genres/electronic">Electronic & Post-Punk</a>.
