Brian Eno - 2 Forms Of Anger (taken from Small Craft On A Milk Sea) by Warp Records

This is the first teaser from the upcoming Eno/Hopkins/Abraham album Small Craft On A Milk Sea. I’m not sure entirely what I was expecting, but it was either this sort of thing (sonically related to the backing music of the Karl Hyde/Eno colab on Athens, which is the same group of musicians) or something like the epic Leo Abrahams track Spider, the remixed version which is on the Chillout Lounge comps. (As an aside, that is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time. Production, flow, programming, and playing chops are all in fantastic display.)

Turns out it is very obviously the former. It’s nice to hear a well-made track in this vein that is outside the normal Genre Soup of electronic music. I tend to like the concept of Eno more than the execution, by and large, but this teaser bodes well for the upcoming album.

Only slightly related: the timeline comment track in Soundcloud embeds? Boycott that shit. It is intensely annoying to see what little Bobby Dokken from Weehauken thinks of any given transition. I mean, honestly, who gives a fuck?
