POLYPORES - MULTIZONAL MINDSCRAMBLE (2023 ALBUM/DIGI-PAK)

Qty:

Stephen James Buckley - aka POLYPORES - returns for his second full album on the DiN imprint following on from his 2022 debut: ‘Hyperincandescent’.

Though we’ve come to know a wide range of sounds from POLYPORES, it’s here on 'Multizonal Mindscramble' that we get plunged into the outer reaches of the inner psyche. Flickering insectoid transmissions are laid atop slowly shifting walls of drifting oscillators, barely discernible chirps and static-encrusted filter sweeps.
There are moments of undeniable melodic bliss amongst the warm, weightless transmissions though, with soaring arpeggios and covert counter-melodies emerging from the fog and coalescing into perfect harmony before fading once again into the ether. The slow intricate weaving of sounds and timbres has become a POLYPORES trademark, and once again the fluidity and ease with which Buckley moves between sound-worlds is evident on this new album.
The organic textures morph and grow, from a syncopated glitching oscillator through to slow swells of synth and spacey, cavernous reverb - like a languid walk through the forest, while you gradually melt through the earth and into the soil.

A perfectly balanced textural odyssey and a stunning example of the depth and breadth of the POLYPORES sound,
'Multizonal Mindscramble' is released as limited runs of 300 copies of both this CD Digi-Pak and 180g Vinyl LP formats, featuring stunning artwork by Wendy Carroll that matches the music perfectly.
