Mancunian duo Das Sombreros use electroacoustics to blur the line between comfortable and alien. Their sound revolves around a patchwork of samples and field recordings, arranged in a way that never stays still. Despite the ambient washes that permeate the nine tracks that constitute The Lamp, the music of Das Sombreros could never be consigned to the background. It demands to be listened to, not just heard. The work of Das Sombreros bears comparison to David Shea, Nurse with Wound, Franco Battiato, Simon Fisher Turner, David Lynch. Headphone listening recommended for the sheer dynamic range.
