As with this week's excellent Ateleia & Benjamin Curtis LP, this beautiful Table Of The Elements LP comes on single-sided clear vinyl with a Savage Pencil etching on the flip. It's just as good as its counterpart too: as suggested by the title, the side-long piece piles on an armoury of guitars, accumulating a huge amount of sonic density, but never in an oppressive way. Instead the melding of electric and acoustic tones create a huge, warm network of sonorities, consolidating this band's position as one of the most accessible, conventionally musical acts on the Table Of The Elements roster, and that's certainly not a back-handed compliment: seldom has such protracted droning minimalism sounded so easy on the ears
