Understated Theory - Juxtapparition (2015)

Understated Theory are Colin Crighton (nil.co) and Tom Moore (Indigolab and Dead Melodies). Sharing musical and production duties, their sound is a sprawling fuse of manipulated guitars, keys and synths, with otherworldly fx and programmed field recordings adding the finishing layers to create their own brand of textured sound.

Following on from the mid 2015 ‘Critical Drift’ EP released through Sparkwood Records comes ‘Juxtapparition’. A full length release which explores much darker territories; mixing ambient post-rock with deep droning atmospherics and downtempo electronica. Weaving amid waves of fuzz tinged drones, fractured beats and hints of twisted melodies, the sound envisages a dark panorama in which the listener is left to bring their own interpretation.
