Rod Modell is a go-to for serious dub heads and her has a couple of new works dropping in quick succession this year. 'On Grotto In The Sun', sudden bursts of crystalline drips and electronic spirals pierce his usual dub fog, then open into serene, almost meditative soundscapes. While the textures feel abstract and contemplative, each part of the stereo field is charged with drama and amplified by a meticulous, enveloping production. Both long-form offerings are pure musical tonic for hyperactive minds that need calming.
