Dalot – Loop Over Latitudes
(n5md / cd)
I reviewed Dalot’s (Maria Papadomanolaki) previous release for coo records at random5 and though flight sessions could be described as a collection of exercises in different styles (of the post rock, electronica idiom) this year’s loop over latitudes for n5md sounds cohesive. tell me more
