About

Second Woman consists of Turk Dietrich (of Belong) and Joshua Eustis (of Telefon Tel Aviv), two of the most exploratory and well-regarded electronic music producers active since the '90s emergence of leading IDM artists Aphex Twin and Autechre. Dietrich and Eustis' activity together dates back to the early 2000s. Their sophomore full-length for Spectrum Spools further hones their distinctive fusion of shapeshifting software sculpture and tessellated footwork. Shivering digital textures oscillate with and against algorithmically mapped percussion samples; smeared synthetic chords levitate in the distance; stabs of digital noise punctuate the mix in twitchy, time-distorting patterns. Their anamorphosis verges on ascetic: stark, splintered waveforms rendered into unique fiber optic hieroglyphs.

S/W pushes beyond their combined discographies to date, flexing impossibilities, building rhythms from arrhythmia, teasing veiled emotion from bold iterations of cold code. — (via Label)
