Blending the studio-as-instrument approach central to dub and the detailed, immersive sound world of electro-acoustic composition, Everywhere Curving is a record of detailed sound, hypnotic repetition and open space.
Everywhere Curving is based on sessions in Ambridge’s home studio, later edited down into 5 tracks. The live takes are patient and intuitive, the electronic percussion unfolds slowly creating an engrossing structure, making Everywhere Curving propulsive, meditative and deep.
Whilst this album is a fitting homage to the most repetitive and enveloping dub-techno records, Four-Footed have taken a microscope to beloved sounds and techniques. Four-Footed take great care handling sound - each electronic element is honed to its most minimal aspects, creating new forms for the genre.
Four-Footed have hollowed a new space for themselves in dance/not-dance music, with this quiet, deep album.
