Deepchord Presents: Echospace

"Rod Modell and Steve Hitchell return to Modern Love with this new twelve and soon to be released album 'Liumin'. In the years that have passed since their last album both artists have been busy with numerous projects, building their own Echospace imprint and recording under a number of different guises. Modell in particular has developed his longstanding fascination with location recordings, and some made in Tokyo over the last couple of years provide the source material for these new tracks. Although the vapor trails of dub still colour the essence of their recordings, 'Vibrational Studies' (an alternate version of album opener 'In Echospace) is a much more 'destroyed' experience than anything the pair have done before, deploying a relentless cycle of washed-out analogue loops layered around submerged field recordings and electric currents that somehow propel the track while at the same time immersing it in deep, murky waters. 'Symbolism In Transition', by sharp contrast, forms a padded configuration with a sort of late night shuffle so beloved of Move D, all squashed House vibes, sparkling melodic keys and bursts of barely there white noise - it's a gentle, beautiful thing."--Boomkat
