Few records have the severity of depth that this one carries with it: developing and fluid in its every contour, ever-present, but always hiding behind the shape of a shadow. There is no resting point, no sound or simple feeling that these four pieces lean on in order to carry out their miles-deep melancholy.
Monos (aka Darren Tate and Colin Potter, also of Ora) are intent on relaxing muscle and slowing brain activity to a crawl. The hum of electronics blows easily until random sounds bolt through the still waters of the track. Slowly developing melodic themes stretch from their slumber and begin a slow crawl through the lamp-lit streets that are at the very heart of "Generators".
This is a dream record through and through.... everything awash with dark undulations, like the movement of the ocean. The slow, deliberate pulse of the album delivers a suffocating atmosphere with a strange sense of density.
