Bleep

2007’s Goodbye is a typically evocative set from Schnauss, one which combines motorik electronics with the sort of widescreen vistas one associates with shoegaze groups such as Ride. While dreamy synths spiral off into the atmosphere on tracks like ‘Here Today, Gone Tomorrow’, the pulse of electronic drums ground them in a way that only adds to the sense of wonder around this music. It’s a sonic aesthetic which also paves the way for the subsequent innovations of acts like Nathan Fake and Jon Hopkins.
