Shifted offers the latest distillation of his trademark sound.
Following on from the recent release of "The Dirt On Our Hands" - Guy
Brewer’s fourth studio album and the first to arrive on his own Avian
imprint, "Constant Blue Light" - another full length, explores new
avenues in caustic minimalism.
Eschewing the booming effervescence of his own more plosive dance floor
material - Shifted takes a no less nuanced, but decidedly more
introspective angle on this new LP. At the centre of Brewer’s practice
as an artist, there has always been a sense of dedication to the
refinement of a singular idea. In some ways "Constant Blue Light"
represents a move closer to the apex of this approach.
Opener "Slowly Counting Backwards" creates the framework for the record -
reduced and meditative, owing somewhat to previous work, but still
crisper and more precise. "Natural Elevation" riffs on airy patches that
hiss and bend while "The Weight of It" transmits an unsettling hysteria
with flanging leads and untethered rhythmic components. On the B side,
the ominous dirge of "Soft Palate" brings a kind of uncanny energy to
proceedings before "Into Your Ocean" utilises exquisite FM tones to
create a captivating sonic montage. "Several Instances" hinges on dense
low end and scattering white
noise, before giving way to the machinations of "Clotting Time". Closing
piece "This I Know" offers a stunning, crystalline finish to the LP -
upping the ante in its final minutes before giving way to a hiss of
delay trails.
A continued exploration from a focused and diligent artist that provides
yet another fully formed and beautifully articulated component to his
own discography and that of the Avian label.
