Fennesz – Becs (Editions Mego)

When you make something as unique and groundbreaking as Christian Fennesz did more than a decade ago with Endless Summer, it’s understandable to resist potentially being stuck on that sound. He didn’t, and made two albums that were very good, but were clearly departures from the soft electronic bliss of his big album. Now Fennesz has finally returned to the sounds of Endless Summer — and with just his guitar, fed through countless filters and computer patches, he has made a worthy sequel. It’s an album of guitar noise, drones, glitches, and static spun so expertly that it all becomes as pretty and golden as a setting sun. –Miles [LISTEN]
