It's been three and a half years since Kelpe's brilliant debut album Sea Inside Body. Over that time Kelpe seems to have drifted from the more traditional IDM sound on that record, learning the drums and layering an instrumental feel to his works. Kelpe also layers guitars, piano, and other instruments into the mix in a chaotic, but natural way. A Track title like "Half Broken harp" ought to give an idea how this record sounds; instruments are played, cut up, and spliced into electronic arrangements. Because of this, the record bounces back and forth between natural and alien sounds. The influences are spotchecked a mile a minute here, so there's way too much to reference, but this is another great album from Kelpe, in the increasingly compelling indielectronic sound.
