This week’s PBS Feature Album is Rivulets by OK EG, aka Lauren Squire and Matthew Wilson. The duo take intrepid recce’s on a Kalahari debut of fathoms-deep techno minimalism and opiated braindance styles. With release titles like Intertidal Zone, Anther, and Prismatic Spring, their ambition to evoke natural worlds is evident. But these tracks aren’t of this planet. Navigating truly alien terrain, Rivulets finds the duo imagining uncharted environments into existence through the medium of analogue hardware.
This is very much an album of two halves; the first on a heads-down tip aimed straight at the dancefloor, with a second plate that veers further into abstraction. That said, they’re all the kind of far-reaching explorations where close listening yields great rewards.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Rivulets, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday November 12. Please note vinyl giveaways must be picked up from the station in Collingwood.
