Another first of year release, this time for Polytechnic Youth's older sibling, the more kosmische / kraut enthused Deep Distance. Following hugely acclaimed releases for labels such as Kranky, Constellation Tatsu, Not Not Fun and Great Pop Supplement, Jesse Reiner's esteemed JONAS REINHARDT return to the fray with the mighty Conclave Surge' LP.
The eight tracks contained within open the listener to a new dimension to the Reinhardt oeuvre, expanding deeply on the sonic themes explored in previous albums with a sense of immersive, meditative intent. The sharp sound design of minimal techno, early industrial music's capacity for dramatic shock and awe and the fervent rhythmic experimentation of West African synthesists all weaved their way into Reiner's palette for Conclave Surge.
Inspired in equal measure by the throbbing urbanity of coastal cities, continental European art-rock experimentation, and improvised electronic minimalism, Jonas Reinhardt's music transcends its influences into a wholly unique amalgam.
As Jesse himself says 'The latin origin of 'Conclave' translates to with key. The pieces of music selected for this album are designed to unlock, by way of machine and human synthesis, ritual and musical ceremony previously hidden from public view. The Conclave ceremony, traditionally designed to introduce something important, is a tool of power and of powerful groups. 'Surge' here refers to electric discharge arcing across a room, crackling gear, and skittering currents sourcing ground'.
Another wonderful Jonas Reinhardt record released as a limited edition pressing of 300 on vinyl only by Deep Distance Jan 2018.
