Ambient/Drone
This year's Record Store Day has been one of the absolute biggest in the event's history, and it really has been quite hard to keep up with all the sheer quality of the music, both old and new. In the case of the latter, America's most critically acclaimed experimental producer, OPN, has come through with yet another doozy for the Warp institution. As per usual, its ambient with a veritable twist, or rather, OPN's signature weirdness at the forefront. "Music For Steamed Rocks" appears to be a calm, serene blend of sonic landscapes, but it's repeatedly interrupted by violent swirls of noise and distortion, making it a real aural spectacle. "Meet Your Creator" is similarly angelic on the surface, but that is quickly dealt with thanks to subtle infusions of metallic atmospherics and arpeggiating melodies. On the B-side, "I Only Have Eyes For You" is definitely our choice cut, and the label no-music certainly fits right in. Deranged samples, twisted blends of field recordings and a deluge of pads. Wonderful.
