Tapes and Topographies - Fathoms (2018) [Hi-Res]

A man of many projects, we can be grateful Todd Gautreau has continued to give attention to Tapes and Topographies as he follows up 2017’s superb Signal to Noise with another spellbinding set of melodic deconstructions entitled Fathoms. Fragments fashioned from piano, organ, & guitar are woven into a diaphanous textural fabric and then unfurled onto waves of warm, looping oscillations. Beautifully crafted and thoughtfully rendered, Gautreau offers the listener safe harbor at the edge of a deep and melancholic sea.

Available on digital and CD via Gautreau’s Simulacra Records label.
