Literally, the newest tape on Afternoons Modeling by experimental wizard Wakesleep entitled Three Thousand Flora is blooming in sound color. As a cross between futurism, synthetics, and noise collage, garnering this insatiable medium of fluid music making on a teetering and constantly fluctuating pandemonium. It’s like Wakesleep had this intent or idea to make a satirical nu-age meditation album, drawing from the comedic timing of Sam Merenge, outsider intuition of Spencer Clark, blown-out production style of Jono Mi Lo, and the instinctual patience of musical composure beheld by Lieven Martens. And damn it this really goes deep on the ego-less emotional pull, downplaying feels and building upon what may or may not portray within the listener. Or just a game of cat and mouse, enticing listeners with juxtaposing sounds that harmonize in avant ways that make experimental theater asymmetrical. Pick yourself Three Thousand Flora. Wakesleep is a legend of the game. Tapes are sold out, but there’s a digital awaiting your download at the Afternoons Modeling Bandcamp, which you can scope below:
