Description
Good Morning Tapes returns with a captivating new album from Josiah Wolfson’s project, X Or Size. Delving into the realms of washed-out and reverberating dub, this release offers a mesmerizing sonic experience that will transport listeners into a world of deep immersion. If you’re a fan of artists like Actress, NWAQ, Huerco S, and Ulla, this album is a must-listen.
X Or Size expertly blends elements of classic dub techno with their own unique touch of darkened ambiguity, resulting in a compelling and alluring sound. Drawing inspiration from the dub techno playbook, the album features wave after wave of luxurious, eroded dub chords and fractured percussion. The sonic landscape created by X Or Size evokes both the vintage aesthetics of Chain Reaction and the contemporary wave of late-night atmospheric productions.
Throughout the album, X Or Size skillfully navigates between different influences, incorporating the ominous spirit of Wolfgang Voigt‘s Gas with a touch of optimism, reminiscent of Voigt’s iconic sound. Tracks like “Whirled Why” capture the essence of Rhythm & Sound, offering a pure rhythm-driven experience that combines a creeping bass drum with a slow skank.
The album’s title track, “DÆZI,” brings the most club-oriented moment, infusing the echoes of Chicago House with layers of delay and reverb. The result is a captivating blend of fuzzy logic, blurring the lines between the beginning and end of the hook.
