Comet Of Any Substance – Full of Seeds, Bursting With Its Own Corrections

(self-released)

Comet Of Any Substance - Full of Seeds, Bursting With Its Own CorrectionsThis Comet Of Any Substance release, Full of Seeds, Bursting With Its Own Corrections — which can perhaps be described as an EP due to its short running time — has the greatest air of mystery about it.

There is something disorientating about the woozy instrumentation that flickers and drones, worn out from intergalactic travels. You can see them rushing past, but we are static, waving from windows.

The electronic drops of “A True Order Of Values” are like ripples across an unseen vastness, with an immense warm curtain pulled across for shelter. Some of the pieces, like “Electronic Radar And Night Vision Unit” feel like emissions from distant places, struggling through the atmosphere, carrying important but esoteric messages.


It is impressive how much of an atmosphere Comet can produce, considering the pieces here run between a minute and two and a half. They can take an instrument and stretch and distort that sound to such an extent that it seems to also warp time, lasting millennia, but being captured briefly just for us.

The clatter of movement abounds as if heard through an aural prism or malfunctioning thrusters feeding back in a delicious, controlled way are all wrapped up in this fantastic package of intrigue and brevity. You should make your way over to Bandcamp and perhaps there will be more emissions in the time-warped future.
