pre-love by carpet dust
As our second outing with carpet dust on the label, we can confirm that her style of production with this alias is just as impressive as ever on "pre-love", expanding upon the sound of the rousingly successful "junk" and works which proceeded it. There is a profound respect for the reused, the thrifted, the left-behinds of the world in this alias' compositions, a grand and nebulous idea given specific forms in each of their albums.
"pre-love" explores this with the same delicate touch that we have come to expect, given intricate and loving layers of texture work through dense and deceptively complex effects chains. One of carpet dust's strongest suits is the natural way in which her ear for artificialized fidelity shines through, almost sounding as if it were pulled directly from a recording of a recording itself.
It becomes hard to tell where some loops and cuts begin and end with her style as well, blending together portions and pieces of their sources to create something seamlessly hypnotic, the cutting and chopping only becoming noticeable and appreciable to a listening ear. Overall, "pre-love" is a work suited for those who enjoyed this artist's release of "junk" upon our label long ago, as well as those who are unfamiliar with her work.
