reviews
The Wire (UK)
"A lovely CD of skipping percussion and
uncommon restraint, Plusism is all about the rustle of recognition
and the hush of words held back. Traces and vapour trails and
wagging stalks of grain, like bodies meeting bodies coming through
the rye. Toronto's Robin Judge and Tomas Jirku, known from releases
on No Type and Force Inc, mold putty-like chords into soft,
rounded shapes that seem initially delicate, but turn out to
be strangely durable. They press real-world elements-off-color
twangings from the dead part of the guitar's neck, brittle piano
twinklings-into the greyscale lump, resulting in an extraordinarily
tactile sound that practically begs blindfolded, Brailled-fingered
listening. Occasionally a sense of exhaustion sets in - not
the exhaustion of form, but simple, physical fatigue, manifested
in sluggish beats and chords that move forward like leaden feet
at high altitudes. It's an interesting approach for MicroHouse,
which is so often about the unencumbered glide; Judge and Jirku
seem to take inspiration from the nocturnal slowness that wraps
itself around the quickest of pulses."
