Om Units second volume of ‘Acid Dub Studies’ is a collection of murky glimpses through the various pervasive layers of both the responsive and subconscious, the longest cuts weighing in at just under four minutes long. The nature of the beast is such, however, that time feels stretched within, making length largely irrelevant. Moreover, as one piece segues into the next, is there an end in sight? Before you know it, these densely grinding vignettes become a distant memory, but remain crystallized on account of their intelligently manipulated riffs and melodies. It’s an undulating collection, with ‘Camo’ quickly picking up the pace after the dawn-of-time fug of ‘Melted’, and after it drops into frictional despondency, reviving itself again slightly by way of ‘To The River’. In the main however, this is a depth charged set of tracks which are deft in their execution allowing for mulitple moods to be evoked. It’s a sunny day outside, and this is music for the void and abyss, but I’m finding reasons to be optimistic while listening to it.
