Silent Ascent Limited Vinyl 2LP Set – Downliners Sekt

Downliners Sekt Silent Ascent Limited Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:
Downliners Sekt are one of the most pleasant and intriguing surprises of Barcelonas increasingly in-the-spotlight electronic scene.
The duos sound references the science of Autechre, the
ghostly echoes of Rhythm & Sounds Burial Mix series, even
shards of melted My Bloody Valentine-esque shoegaze.
Their reputation amongst the international electronic music scene was significantly heightened with their 2010 – 2011 trilogy of EPs Hello Lonely, Hold The Nation, We Make Hits, Not The Public and Meet The Decline on Barcelonas Disboot label and their InFin Trim / Tab and Balt Shakt EPs.
Mastered by Berlin sorcerer Rashad Becker, their third album Silent Ascent is Downliners Sekts most defined sonic statement to date – a fractured hymn to the dancefloor and the sounds that move it.
What the critics have been saying: Downliners Sekt are
murkier, more melancholy side of dance music on the title track here, with mournful organ-like tones and a beat that retains its presence without becoming overly forceful – Pitchfork
A subtle tune with a dark mist that gracefully layers over an eclectic variety of stark elements – XLR8R
Blending Burials half-heard vocal snatches with Mount
Kimbies organic nu-gaze textures, Downliners Sekt have
emerged with something charming and perfectly realized, and it certainly bodes well for the eventual full-length – FACT
It winds its way around electronic music genre distinctions and strangles them, combining washes, beats, and hushed vocals into a Four Tet (circa There Is Love In You) meets Aidan Baker slurry of aural goodness – Prefix Mag.
