Description
This is a rare vinyl test pressing of the Dais Records release of Hiro Kone's album Silvercoat the throng
"Nicky Mao upends that propulsive lurch on Silvercoat The Throng, playing with time by allowing for the core elements of her sound to tumble over one another in intentional chaos. On "Stom," a gauzy melodic figure emerges from a buzzing drone and hangs in the air, only to dissipate against the sudden throb of a kick drum pattern. It threatens to break into an urgent bit of techno, but the drums never return. Instead, FM chords and wisps of digital noise bubble and crackle, flitting around the stereo field before retreating back into the haze. The song only lasts two minutes and 46 seconds, but each of its elements exists in its own space, creating a moment that neither begins nor ends.
"The album's centerpiece, "Reciprocal Capture" featuring Speaker Music (AKA DeForrest Brown, Jr.), similarly disentangles time and form. Set against Brown's randomized drum machine workout, Mao deploys glassy synth pads and uncanny valley vocals in cascading layers. The elements drift in and out of each other's space, coalescing at certain points and completely separating from one another within a matter of seconds. There's structure to be found, but only if you're actively looking for it. Like many songs on Silvercoat The Throng, "Reciprocal Capture" feels like hearing the ticking of the second hand on a clock that's out of view: time is indeed passing, but it's unclear where exactly one sits within it." - Resident Advisor
