B.Fleischmann: The Humbucking Coil

Written by Michael P. Goodman Thursday, 07 September 2006 05:00

Really clean production and exceptional use of live instrumentation and electronic rhythm, Fleischmann soothes the listener with a nice array of different instruments from the vibes, to the live guitar and drums in the opening track "Broken Monitors," and the piano / saxophone duet on track six, titled "Static Crate." Through the playing of the album, you might notice a wide dynamic range. Fleischmann has a very classical composition style infused with pop allowing the listener to move up and down with the album.

Tracks two and seven feature Fleischmann's vocals in a fashion similar to indie/post-rock bands albeit much more tastefully, in this author's opinion. Particularly on the track "From To" which I found to be a really moving track featuring vibes, some clean and simple micro-electronics coupled with heavy snare hits make for a well-balanced contrast.

Dreamy and contemplative rife with emotional content,  is a great piece of music for those in need of modern electronics with soothing, jazzy musicality. The album finishes with a sparse yet beautiful piano painting that feels like a self-referential illustration, bringing completion with elegance.
