In 2014 we’re not short of tape labels and lo-fi sonics. The likes of Opal Tapes and Astro:Dynamics have, over the past few years, represented the high water mark for leftfield experiments in the grottiest by-products of electronic music production, albeit with a healthy side line in more grounded fare. While there will always be a certain degree of fatigue and disenchantment that goes with the less inspired parts of such surges in musical practices, the trends also yield more than their fair share of gems that will outlast the buzz. Cleaning Tapes as a label has on the whole been a good example of this, while individually Hungarian artists Norwell and Stephan Olbricht have carved out their own corner of the playing field. With their forces combined, Untitled has wound up as a particularly captivating exercise in dusty atmospherics and harried rhythms.
