BEN BONDY Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Experimental American producer Ben Bondy released his beautifully escapist cassette album Camo back in early 2022 after serving up one of 2021's finest records with Glans Intercum. Finally it makes its way on to vinyl and is one of the finest ways to soothe the soul and empty the mind of clutter we have heard this year. It is musical for daydreaming, a subtle but sonically stuffed mix of abstract field recordings, deep sonic pulses and ambient pads that drift by like wispy clouds on a sunny day. Rainy textured and scratchy surfaces, distant watery drips and muted melodies, bird calls and the sound of a breeze through long grass all make it beautifully evocative.
