Eckords" is the first release by Flash Lights, the duo of Liz Harris (better known as Grouper) and Bay Area sound sculptor Jorge Behringer. Here, Liz's spectral vocal transmissions (the ones that blew our collective minds on last year's superb opus "Way Their Crept") are augmented by disorienting field recordings, bubbling electronics, meditative guitar lines, and Jorge's angelic, processed viola. Each piece is unique and bursting with vibrant, otherworldly energy, running the gamut from almost poppy (!) songforms, to distant choral ghost codas, and moving effortlessly from seering blasts of electronics to calm, glacially evolving, painstakingly wrought towers of dynamic vocal murk. Beautifully mastered by Pete Swanson, presented in a sleeve adorned with Liz's wonderful black and white artwork.
