Another new jam from New Zealand duo of Bill Wood and Jules Desmond aka 1/3 Octave Band, courtesy of Campbell Kneale's Celebrate Psi Phenomenon label. Packaged as always in the immediately recognizable wallpaper sleeve, this is some serious soft focus, gauzy and dreamy and free floating minimal bliss for sure. Four tracks, 49 minutes, each track a lengthy drift through delicate worlds of subtle sound. "Another step toward the infinite nothingness. Having solidified once-and-for-all as a duo and on the eve of their Australian tour, 1/3 Octave Band present perhaps their finest recorded moments. As the title would have you believe, this is a dark ride through a vast landscape with only the merest shreds of light to guide you through to the other side. Point by painstaking point is mapped out across the ever-nothing of the southern sky. The danger is not so much the uncertainty of your destination, but in the knowledge that you have completely forgotten how you got in here in the first place. Lost, aimless, wandering, and going back is no longer an option." - Campbell Kneale.
