shielding: collecting seaweed

Swedish producer Shielding lands on Facta and K-LONE's Wisdom Teeth imprint with an extended collection of hazy dub techno, drone, and downtempo. With previous releases on Kimochi and Leif's UntilMyHeartStops imprint (as Okänd Konstnär), Collecting Seaweed EP is the artist's fullest body of work to date, comprising six tracks cherrypicked from a vast set of recordings produced over the last two years. The record's pulse recalls Basic Channel and the clicks-n-cuts of Jan Jelinek and SND, but its textures are loose and painterly. Looping, pulsating textures sprawl out to create rejuvenating, emotive soundscapes. Patterns repeat, but no two strokes are the same.
