Pothole Basics

from Vandeventer by Sleet

about

A nursery rhyme start bleeds into space while the bass picks out puzzles and the drums scamper after synth arpeggios. Everyone plays rings around different arpeggiated sounds, growing gradually more high pitched and frantic, weaving in and out of time. By 5m the sounds have settled into a galloping subtlety. We enter an eastern European spy movie soundtrack, and the bass takes off on virtuoso leaps and bounds, soon after joined by the trail of background sounds. At 7m the cohesion is rushed into dispersion by a drum insistence, and the bass keeps pace with the drums. Bell tones chime agreeably behind the drums, until the 9m mark. Mist coalesces into harp-like guitar picking and forest frog synth merging and obscuring everything. Shortly after 10:30 a quiet little pop song emerges from nothing and is developed into more symphonic zones than pop over the next few minutes. The drums start a solemn coda, finished off by a bass variation followed by a formal loop, and a Hollywood change-up ending, strictly for laughs.
