Andrew Anderson, "Thresholds"

Constructed from field recordings and found sounds and mutated into collages further refined via live performances, Andrew Anderson’s latest album is a final construction of these elements that have gone through multiple stages of processing and abstraction. Although most (but not all) of the building blocks that make up _Thresholds_ have been modified into something completely different, it is the times in which these identifiable sounds bleed through that make the record even more unsettling but continually engaging. Elevator Bath The field recording elements of Anderson’s work are apparent from the very opening of "Until My Blood Contains All" with squealing brakes cutting through open spaces, all surrounded by rain drenched in reverb. He blends in reversed shimmers, with the various sounds drifting between what sounds like environment, and what sounds like music. The overall looping structure enforces the latter, and a clear intensity increases throughout. Again, as a balance, Anderson joins fuzzy, crunching noise with some stretched, almost musical sounds slipping through. The piece clearly transitions from being environmentally focused to a structured, musical one. A gentle melody is extended under sputtering, collapsing sounds and fuzz drenched broken radio layers.

“[T]he epic track that takes up all of Side B of the vinyl version is a slow-rolling wagon train bringing disease and torment to an unsuspecting frontier town.” Wonderful description of Andrew Anderson’s “Thresholds” LP. Many thanks!
