Voices From The Lake comprises a collaboration between headfuck techno figurehead Donato Dozzy and his friend Neel (not to be confused with frequent Dozzy collaborator Nuel. After debuting last year with the Silent Drops EP, the duo are preparing to release their self-titled LP (available on their Bandcamp page on February 20th), and frankly, it’s a stunner. It’s serenely sequenced in the vein of Global Communication’s 76 14 or Move D and Benjamin Brunn’s Songs from the Beehive; laced with a kind of intoxicating liquid precision, it flows so seamlessly that it would be difficult to select a singular highlight. Thankfully Prologue and Voices From The Lake have generously provided us with the beatless non-album cut “4Caldo” to share for free, and it serves as a perfect taster. Above stray crackles, Dozzy and Neel launch an array of astral, meditative pads, and its delicate, patient arrangement reminds of the quiver of the night sky.
