Gayphextwin - Spiro (2018)

Bay Area luminary Brooke Keller returns to Jacktone for 9 tracks of moody melodic techno and IDM carved in her own image. While Keller’s previous two Jacktone releases as odi me indulged in the grislier side of homemade electronic sound, spiro is an introspective collection, forging rough and ready compositions from icy pads, voyeuristic samples, and whip-crack percussion. Spiro evokes the deeply personal electronic music of catalogs like Instinct Ambient or Reflective Records - wistful and spacious, but packed with plenty of razor-sharp edges and crackling with in-the-moment energy.
