The Point Misser (Reissue)

Sometimes things can be this sad. It's good to know that you're not alone. When you think of bad times after you have lived through them, you feel like this music sounds. It's good to know it's over but there always remains a vague idea of unnamed loss. Sometimes you don't even know what exactly it is that you miss. And everything is kinda slow.

Styrofoam's music has all the ingredients that are needed for this special kind of rainy-day-record. Mood, elegance and truth. All these come from Arne Van Petegem and it sure rains a lot in Antwerp. In his past he used guitars to make the things audible that he was hearing all the time. A couple of beautiful records by his Tin Foil Star imprint bear impressionist witness and should be heard. Having switched to electronic sounds his search for the perfect but slightly unbalanced harmony continues.
