Descending through layers of consciousness like a deep-sea probe, Flightless Aspidistra‘s ‘These Reflections’ maps the topography of recurring thoughts with precise, crystalline detail.
Their command of downtempo electronica echoes warped sensibilities while carving out their own distinct path through the genre’s shadowy corners.
The track’s architecture reveals itself gradually, with off-kilter beats providing an unstable foundation for waves of synthesizer that seem to fold in upon themselves. As the piece progresses towards its final drop, they demonstrate remarkable restraint in their production choices, allowing each element to breathe while maintaining the claustrophobic atmosphere that makes the release so compelling. It’s a sophisticated exploration of emotional recursion that never loses its way in its own depths.
