More than anything, for me this is like a cross between Akku / Ronin, The Necks and Dawn of Midi’s small classic, ‘Dysnomia’. Excellent and recommended.
“This is fricking awesome. Just blend the unique Switzerland-based temporary music of Sonar, Akku Quintet, Blaer, Stephan Thelen's current works, with Karl Jenkins' Soft Machine and some minimalistic approach in King Crimson.” – Frank Hadlich
“The word loom has two distinct meanings. It can mean a machine that weaves individual threads together to form a fabric. As a verb, it describes the action of something appearing threatening, distorted or large in scale. By calling their ambitious, sprawling sophomore album LOOM, Swiss post-genre band KALI Trio simultaneously invoke intention, process and atmosphere.
LOOM consists of only four compositions, but clocks in at a few seconds short of the 45 minute mark! It's a beast in scope, but airy (literally) in feel, hence easy to inhale. Each piece plays like the equivalent of a time-lapse of a looming cloud formation – a liquid progression of shifting shapes, changing density as well as shadow and light play. By the virtue of working with subtle iterations of form and using extended swaths of time as the equivalent of a large-scale canvas, the material evokes the mechanics of trance music. The creative use of sound design and general choice of spartan aesthetics, albeit executed using acoustic instruments, emphasise styles club-inclined and tasteful. The overall effect is cinematic and mesmeric; a sonic documentation of a daydream unraveling.”
