seht - New blues for whitey
Students of Decay CDR-EP, 2006
"On New Blues for Whitey, New Zealand's Stephen Clover navigates decaying, minimalist blues and breathtaking webs of hum and drone.
Many familiar seht touchstones show up here as Clover fuses crystalline, looping guitar melodies with ever thickening,
undulating plumes of tar-thick static and glitched electronic fuckery. When a liliting, meditative pop loop joins the sound mass midway through,
you'll think you've unearthened a supremely inspired document of William Basinski jamming with Oval and "Womblife"-era Fahey under the Antarctic sun."

One of four mini-albums in the Creeping Dawn vol. 1 boxed set.
What they said...
"Seht's contribution sees him on top form too: a trance-like repeated guitar melody becomes gradually submerged in a pool of murky static, harsh glitch-tronics and film noir incidental music."
