| 3.5 great | Alabaster Jones | November 30th 15 |
An oft-overlooked ambient downtempo duo originally formed in Athens, but settling into Berlin, Subheim has made some very visceral and lovely ambient music with influence coming in from downtempo and ambient techno as well. Foray, their third LP, is a pretty sweet listen, covering a nice range of emotions throughout its ten tracks. Opener "Bitter" is ominous and on-edge, setting up an unnerving atmosphere easily. Tracks like "Night Walk" are calming and comforting with the blanketing ambience, and songs like "Silence" even have a soulful vibe to them thanks to the use of vocalizations and sparse jazz instrumentation. Some of the longer tracks do stretch out more than they ideally should, and as such, the album loses some steam when the longer tracks are near the end. Still, it's a good listen, while occasionally fantastic, and makes for a pretty nice experience on the whole. Give it a listen if you're a fan of ambient electronic.
