The best 12k release in a while, this debut from Pjusk blends field recordings, electronic manipulation and acoustic instrumentation. But not like many of contemporary electronic artists that uses this same aesthetic, to results that go from tedious to boredom, Pjusk creates a dense atmosphere of beauty and originality.
It becames the daylight counterpart to Deaf Center darkness(honestly, what’s happening in Norway? Is it something they drink, eat or breath? It should be investigated!).
I read comparisons with Biosphere – can’t agree at all. The pioneers never had this warmth or texture level. It would be more correct to say that a part of Pjusk sounds recalls Biosphere, as much as Senking, 12k’s Shuttle 358 and aforementioned Death Center.
Is no coincidence that two reviews for this album used the word sublime. SUBLIME.

Oh god, thank you so much. I was looking for this album for quite some time but was never able to find it. My hat is officially off to you, sir.
