VIUL Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Ghent based tape label Dauw branches out for this album from Vil and presses it up to nice heavyweight wax. It's a multi-layered ambient work that is steeped in half forgotten memories, in nostalgic, in longing for a different time and place. There is beauty in that pain, with light, hopeful pads often just about shining through the murk and the mire to bring optimism to the lo-fi and grainy drones. Analogue machinery was clearly used to make this record and that lends it a nice hazy feel throughout. This might be Brooklynite Luke Entelis's best work yet under the Viul guise he has had for some 20 years.
