MP3: Nicholas Szczepanik - Again, Falling
Now, here’s a newcomer in the “hauntological” way. Drone/ambient artist Nicholas Szczepanik has a twist in his approach, and turned The Caretaker’s hazy nostalgics for inspiration. Out on WEME Records.
“Like we say, there’s an undeniable conceptual allegiance with The Caretaker’s foisty shellac ambience and introverted loop spirals, but like Indignant Senility’s compelling ‘Consecration Of The Whipstain’, the magic herein lies with Nicholas’ ability to breathe extra life into the samples, foregrounding their rich melodic nuance and tactile textures against a murky, lowlit background which draws the ear through the heavy red curtains to a cavernous and dark hollow behind.” Boomkat
