An instrumental duo that’s known for pioneering the ‘folktronic’ sound, Talkdemonic improves their genre-fusing techniques on recently released Eyes at Half Mast.
The band’s work has garnered tags such as: ethereal, mesmerizing, and has even been lauded as ‘the music of dreams’. Eyes at Half Mast takes a cunning step forward as Talkdemonic change focus from creating perfectly blended ensembles and instead opt for highlighting some of unique contrasts between instruments.
The tracklist is stacked with songs are as inspired as they are diverse. “Shattered Into Dyes” is a mélange of high energy garage percussion and bright viola. Later the terrain gets rattled with snip-its of bleep-y synth on the otherwise uniform “Dim Sky”. Eyes at Half Mast is a clever amalgam of orchestral instruments, electronic tones, and tight drumming. It’s a solidly entertaining album, and once again confirms Talkdemonic’s ability to pair unlikely partners.
