ALOES
“I” C39
(Ingrown Records)



Through stilted, minimalist drum machine spats and repetitions of contrapuntal synth syncopations, “I" proves to be a non-stop shake-it-fest, where each limb and vertebrae can pick and choose a slippery accent of their own to gyrate along with, independent of others. Upbeat and disorienting (and not just great for dancing but one hell of a companion for walking around town!), Reid Wagner (Athens, GA) takes 4/4 and fills it to the brim with polyrhythmic wile, like something fierce!
