Bleep

Decidedly more urban than its pastoral older sibling Polar Sequences, Biosphere (Geir Jenssen) and Higher Intelligence Agency (Bobby Bird) reunite for the grainy industrialism of Birmingham Frequencies. Originally recorded in 1997, live on the twelfth floor of the Rotunda in the heart of Bird’s home city of Birmingham, Birmingham Frequencies transforms pelican crossing signals and the splashing of canal water into a dense landscape of ambient beauty, sounding like something between an anthropological field study and a Burial record.
