Vessel, “Raven Banner” MP3

January 02, 2013


Maybe it's just the fact that it's the start of a new year, but Vessel’s calmly schizophrenic "Raven Banner" sounds like a survey of the past year in electronic music—blending unsettling clicks and bubbles with snatches of ragged synth that eventually bloom, impossibly, into something serene. It's a complicated track that seems perfectly designed for headphones, that actually stands out as a less-focused (not in a bad way) iteration of the dark electronic strands that Vessel explored on his Order of Noise album on Tri Angle.
