LA’s Neil Reinalda aka Phork returns to NNA Tapes – home of his best gear – with another light-footed, bass-heavy flux of dub, hip hop, field recordings and electronic psychedelia. ‘High End’ feels like his most coherent long-player to date, following a cryptically Cageian sense of logic across its six songs and 30 minute playing time. ‘Wrecked’ sets a spare, ambiguous tone with doo wop-like vocal harmonies and sharp guitar licks contrasted against dank drips and sparse, percolating drum machines until a whining dial tone and crackling location recordings bleed thru into the darker, repeato refractions of ‘Work’, itself ending amidst abstract swirl of textured field sources. Likewise, ‘Contact’ continues this line of enquiry, crossing dimensions between evocative spaces and Afro-futurist rhythmelodies, conjuring the sensation of being two or three places at once. The discordant compisiton ‘Oof’ slowly deviates into a sealed airlock. preciptating the jagged pulses of ‘Contact’ and spooling stabs of ‘Debt’ to close, leaving us beguiled and running back to the start.

With a now continuously expanding scene of contemporary experimental electronic music, many cassette labels have managed to push artists into new international appreciation. This has been the case with young L.A.-based producer Neil Reinalda, who has experimented with electronic music under his PHORK alias for about two years now. Though that may not be an enormous span of time, looking at Reinalda’s discography reveals a strong series of mixtapes, some notable singles and a heartwarming discography of 6 different albums released on cassette by outstanding music imprints like NNA Tapes, Orange Milk Records, Dirty Pillows Records, Opal Tapes, and now Noumenal Loom, where this latest effort was recently put up for preorder – pending its official release today.

Entitled American Tao, the 9-track album builds a remarkable ambient/techno-tainted atmosphere in which Reinalda further resolves to create a whole environmental of sound, divided into 9 cuts, deploying his characteristic beats over deconstructed loop backgrounds. Structures of low and deep synth and percussion lines wrap everything into a wrinkled and rhythmic progression, with other novel effects, reconfigured samples, and beat repetitions that narrate American Tao‘s principal texture. I could easily say this is one of my favorite releases on Noumenal Loom, but your doing yourself a disservice if you’ve yet to peruse their entire catalog.
