The fifteen songs collected on this disc take influences from a variety of styles and fabricate them into something fresh and new, a textured landscape of sounds running the gamut from charming to chilling and back again. Mixing both digital and analog sounds together in a perfectly blended synthesis, Multiplex have put together both an inspired and inspiring work in "Iroquois". One can't help but get lost in "The Monitors", a dark and dreary journey through claustrophobic spaces, or "Mainline" with it's strangled beatz and it's grande jete towards the precipice of danger, just before turning around and running back to Coolsville. And of course there's a remix of "Angles" filled with percolating rhythms and flowing shapes that stay in your head long into the night. "Iroquois" by Multiplex is available now at PiNG THiNGS for $15 "Iroquois" is part of the Piehead Records subscription series.
