Bleep

Stunning, contemporary guitar and synth sessions from Tarotplane, a recent project of US musician PJ Dorsey which has so far appeared on Lullabies For Insomniacs and Aguirre. For the most part, Horizontology’s key is the name. A vision of stillness, ebbing and flowing gently to unhurried atmospheres and creeping arpeggios. ‘Malaysian Forest’ is particularly beautiful, its soothing plucked melody evoking pure calm. ‘Ritual Believer’ is Tarotplane experimenting with more overt rhythms. The result is a spellbinding piece of hypnotic synth music which recalls electronic artists like Four Tet.
