“Keep honking – I’m currently trapped in a transcendent inter-dimensional pathway thanks to Glasspack’s Double For Horse Dancer! They’re a relatively new duo comprised of Henry Birdsey (of pastoral New England drone unit Tongue Depressor) and Ian McColm (of CT avant-psych trio Nagual), and though their iteration of that trendy bumper sticker does not yet exist, I continue to succumb to their long-form electronic re-compositions, gladly in fact. Double For Horse Dancer takes organic source material (Birdsey’s bagpipes for sure; what else I’m not exactly certain) and re-chains its base chemical compounds into extravagant double-helixes. Glasspack bridges the gap between the left-field drone experiments found on Bill Nace’s Open Mouth label (Matt Krefting, John Truscinski, Jake Meginsky et al) and the minimalist-drone practitioners of yore like Terry Riley and Steve Reich, though it’s not a large gap, comprised more of institutional funding than anything else really. There’s a rich and worthy conceptual framework no matter how you slice it here, and Glasspack speaks the language fluently – these tracks are full of strobe-light sparkle, richly churned low-end and a sense of vastness as entertainment, like when you’re sitting in a planetarium and the show begins, galaxies whizzing across the dome so as to induce a light flutter of motion sickness. Closer “Fort Lee Double Rainbow” yanks the quantum physics e-brake and throws these celestial drones in reverse, black holes giving birth to white dwarfs. It’s about time someone spiced up the space-time continuum.” – Yellow Green Red
