Pros
Patches by Beams
You will only give yourself a headache if you try and put the style of music Beams produces into a genre.
Patches is a wide but focused range of sounds, clicks, bleep and samples.
Tracks such as the opener ‘PKD’ and ‘Panamax’ are hazy, smokey jaunts into a warm and dreamlike place.
Beams also brings some snappy drum loops and fuzzy samples along with acoustic guitars, ghostly voices served in a lo-fi vessel.
There is no fat on this album just prime lean material, and is available on a pay what you want for the digital download here on relatively new music site bandcamp which we will be reviewing on the next podcast.
A real must for anyone who likes something a bit different to the run of the mill electronic music currently out there.
