2009, Kranky
VINYL FORMAT. Nudge returns with a slow
burning full-length of sounds perfect
for the dying days of the summer¼s
swelter. The varied stylistic shifts of
previous material have garnered their
fair share of comments regarding a
schizophrenic nature, but here the
experimental lean of the group is placed
to deliver it¼s most cohesive sound to
date.
Masterfully blurring the music's entangled live and programmed approaches to the point of imperceptibility, layer upon layer of synth, guitar and vocals are draped over skeletal pop structures and anchored by dub basslines born of resin-stained fingers. Covered in an electric blanket of atmosphere that can surely only come from years in outer space memorizing the top of one's shoes, the gothic trappings reveal themselves as hard-earned circles beneath the eyes as opposed to poorly applied hot topic nail polish.
As Good As Gone is a proper album whose arc is intended to be absorbed stem to stern.
