river yarra: lucky boy

Oz's River Yarra gives a take on Music for Social Medias, a potential fifth volume in Brian Eno's ambient series, and the result doesn't sound at all like ambient music). With "Aorsom Wislhs", one might feel disoriented by the extremely weird and wonky lead melody. The melody of the slow jam "Sli Ggogg" is equally uneven; add to this the unsettling (slightly) human-sounding voice. But there's a sense of non-human randomness infusing all of these four songs. Take the intensely mesmerizing "Respiration Alternée" with Elen Huynh, for example.
