Organs and keyboards and synthesizers, oh my! Order Anura could revolutionize the funeral home industry with this (all too short) slow burner, taking their somber tonewheel warble on a meditative jaunt between memory’s lanes. Through patient, simple arpeggio, delayed drum machine accent, below-the-floor-boards croon*, and no less than four simultaneous layers of heavily processed keyboard accompaniment/drone, OA provide a syrupy ambiance for the mind to wade through while contemplating the nothing/somethingness of existence. Think Beach House, but substitute their rhythmic stimulation for a more moody, nuanced one. Order Anura is on (to) something here!
