Kaitlyn Aurel Smith Ears [Slipcase]

"In timbre and voice alike, the new LP is startlingly, richly fulsome, commingling the mysticism of Smithsonian Folkways LPs, IDM's furrowed futurism, and the free-fall questing of Laurie Spiegel's 1980 landmark, THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Many of the warm, bubbling textures on EARS can be traced to Smith's obsession with a rare analog synthesizer by Buchla, but the real secret of the album's aesthetic owes more to the fact that it's hard to make out the sources."
Clash (Magazine) - "References to the natural world dominate -- the skittering, unsettling 'Anthropoda' namechecks a form of insect, while the veering, airy synths of 'Stratus' veers up into the Thermosphere."
