The guitar-drums duo of Ingram and Manchester marks a decided endeavor to explore musical understatement, a project that, by considering its relationship with “silence” respects some of the more restrained acoustic qualities of its instrumentation. The resulting compositional vehicles therefore take on a kind of “slow motion sleight of hand,” in which exposition and objuscation are readily available elements to be shuffled. This invitation into process, however, is rendered more enticing by means of the duo’s constant exploration of fresh, cinematic coloration. -Cliff Ingram Less
