"Drop-out Center" celebrates 20 years of the personal creative journey of the Canadian musician Jim DeJong (The Sand Rays) which began in 1992 after leaving the band Mind Skelp-cher. The album includes nine abstract compositions recorded with Jim's trademark approach. Using such sound sources as shortwave radio, vinyl surface, videotape, bird cage alongside "normal" instruments (bass guitar, electric mandolin, synth) he creates slowly drifting multilayered textures with sometimes unexpected stops and narration twists. The sharp crispy foreground sound is set off by gentle background waves of resonating feedbacks forming intelligent electroacoustic glitch / drone with scratchy tangibility, meditativeness and even a sort of romanticism. This is music that evokes imagination and easily paints images in the listener's mind... "Turn on!" Ltd x 300 copies in a digisleeve.
