Lee Gamble completes his âFlush Real Pharynx 2019-2021â album cycle with âA Million Pieces Of Youâ, the third EP of a triptych written in a time when the subjective experience of overload came to a halt, giving way to an overbearing sense of loss, burnout and a desperate need for hope. These seven tracks feel more reflective, more human than the two preceding EPs; the serpentine dopplers and seductive supercar engines of âIn A Paraventral Scaleâ, and imploding motion sculptures of âExhaustâ. A deepfake of Leeâs voice appears from the chaotic slow-mo crash of âBalloon Lossyâ, timidly telling of â[garbled]⊠good newsâ. The uncanny spectre of deep fakes, AI and deep learning models give way to the melancholic loneliness of the solo piano in âEmpty Middle Seatâ. Then glimmering, golden pads on âHyperpassiveâ slowly crawl into the hopeful, bright arpeggiations of âBalloon Copyâ. âA Million Pieces Of Youâ is a ride through a part-synthetic, part-modelled, part-imitation, part-taught, part-human, part-hopeful, part-reflective and paradoxically affirmative space â an involuntarily fitting finale to an album originally conceived in a world different to the one we now inhabit.
Tracklist
A2. Newtown Got Folded
A3. Obsession Model
A4. Empty Middle Seat
