Jim O'Rourke – Hands That Bind [LP] Minimal / Wave / Synthpop "Taped largely in a Honda"ORourkes process sourcing resonant sounds to enmesh together into a music that supersedes their resident parts makes a fitting soundtrack for Kyle Armstrongs prairie gothic tale of down on the farm horror way up north in Canada. His minimalist score inhabits the wide open, big sky landscape, flowing into suddenly deep (and opaque) emotional waters, then panning out to a chilly omniscient remove." Drag City, 2023
