World I See
Sealed 2008 UK Original. You May Not Know Rusty Santos, But You Know His Work. He’s Produced Some Of The Best Records Of Recent Years (And That’s No Hyperbole: His Credits Include Panda Bear’s Person Pitch, Born Ruffians’ Red Yellow & Blue And Animal Collective’s Sung Tongs). Here’s The Debut Recording From His New Band The Present, World I See, And It’s An Absolute Stunner, An Album That Defies Categorization, With Bits Of Experimental Electronica, Neoclassical, And Post-Rock. Santos Is Joined By Jesse Lee And Mina, And Even Though Their Set-Up Is Simple, The Music Is Anything But. The Opening Track, “Heavens On Ice,” Sums Up The Band’s Aesthetic, A 13-Minute Opus That Shifts From Layers Of Warm Ambience To A Sustained Percussion Attack To Ligeti-Like Mash Of Voices And Keys To Strange Orchestral Sounds. “Africanized Beatniks” Is Another Triumph, The Song That Most Recalls Animal Collective’s Spirit With Its Interesting Rhythms And Playful Sense Of Melody. The Album Features Six Tracks, Three That Go Beyond The 10-Minute Mark And The Rest Much Shorter. It’s Gorgeous From Beginning To End – A Must To Own!
