why we love this
Fractured notes and fuzzy glitches layer with soothing piano and warm sax in this thoroughly heartfelt release. A sensitive gaze casts across the textures and layers, speaking to a mind pulled in disparate directions of thought and memory. It feels like glimpsing imagery of changing seasons, stepping into someone else’s diary as life passes by.
about the record
For the better part of twenty years, Keith Freund has been producing intimate, shape-shifting music on his own and as part of collaborative projects such as Trouble Books, Lemon Quartet, and Aqueduct Ensemble. On Trash Can Lamb, he concocts a heady, homespun broth of analog synthesis, bit-reduced sampling, piano, standup bass, saxophone, and location recordings, resulting in a loose and evocative set of songs.
Throughout the album, 8-bit experimental delays mangle airy acoustic materials, denaturalizing them into primitive loop structures while retaining their golden-hued, melodic cores. The sputters, hisses, and croaks of handmade electronics nuzzle up to wistful piano and saxophone ruminations. The pure pandemonium of chaotic triangle wave patching and filtered noise settles into the serenity of a backyard dusk, full of spring peepers or perhaps the sound of crickets.
It’s in the space between the ragtag and rough-hewn and the romantic and yearning that Freund situates these compositions. It’s a peek inside a workshop that sits atop the trees, branches scraping on the windows, bluejays that just won’t knock it off, and a table fan spinning slower and slower, its cheap blades covered in dust.
