From Chris Miller (Number None, Rebis) and Steve Fors (unseen|unknown) comes the disc 'First', precisely that for their new project Flux Bouquet. Two tracks in 22 minutes, "Afterglow" consumes two-thirds of the total with an ecstatic power drone ala Charlemagne Palestine, a building crest of heavy vibration and starched white noise behind which a variety of keys, electronics, and possibly a lapsteel guitar craft miniature figures in a milky way like a marred black scratch pad behind which a bright spectrum shows through with no hopeful sense to be made. With the cutting clarity which Miller/Rebis' releases have come to be known for, the bliss-out continues with the sugary rejoinder "Splenda", an accumulating mass of yawning vocal samples over midi-style bass scales, a welcomed squall of high-frequency/low-impact noise washing over as new electronic embellishments emerge at various points of the sound field, noise gaining in discrete intervals to saturation, the effect approximating a Sigur Ros without a headmaster.

Dropping a two tracker that's the product of composed and fertile minds, this new project featuring Chris Miller of Number None and unseen|unknown's Steve Fors is insinuatingly beautiful. The retro-drone feel of "Afterglow" has a deep avant prog pulse that steadies a rich orchestral rise that never peaks, small underlying waves of warm seas at night. With "Splenda" they move from sampled vocal electro pop sounds to neon dawn synths to a coruscating digi grating finish.
