second storey: bismuth

Second Storey returns to Houndstooth with Bismuth. "Bismuth" takes inspiration from a documentary on the visually impressive metal. Affected by its angular, complex 3D elements and fluid like structures the music deploys the intricate precision of IDM creates its own multiplex of textures. Melodic polyrhythms and chord structures define "Vapor Valve", working neatly with Storey's trademark tight percussion. "Grand Rapid" lives up to its title - urgent in nature, it is propelled by its ever-present bassline groove and percussive elements. "Helicat" is built around the interplay between the main riff and synth percussion elements.
