Bramble, Innate (Grundruck)

text

A deep space atmosphere is immediately established on Bramble´s debut by a pad of weightless synth and a single "beep" - one of the most direct utterances on this entire, understated album. Yet this half-hour, four-track journey might just as well be headed inward as outward, downward into systems of underground caves, the blood circulation of the human body or, as the label website would have us believe, into the stem of some plant as it burgeons, flourishes and crumples to death, as heard from within.

Bramble offers soundtracks which create vast amounts of space, whatever their relativity, within which the listener can imagine either great beauty or grand terrible loneliness. Each track is an emission of hot sulphur dioxide steam, taking on difference shapes as it is vented.

"Lustmordian" in the dark ambient spectrum, Innate says much by having the restraint and good taste to say very little.
