SPLIT APEX - Thoughts In 3D LP
Highly recommended.
"between The Shadow Ring’s stark moonscapes and the blown-out craters that Wolf Eyes patrols. - Bryon Hayes, Dusted Magazine
"Very recommended..dip in" - Musique Machine
"rake-thin makeshift post punk that could have sprung from the Instant Automatons wing of UKDIY. " - Noel Gardner, Quietus
"They’ve created a new space for the darker recesses of improvised rock music to rest and fester, putting the creep on the creep-on. Churn on." - Heathen Disco
"It’s all unsettlingly quiet and simple, making the remote vistas conjured up by Split Apex here all the more impressive." - Rosy Overdrive
"..You can write for hours, trying to describe the event that is Thoughts in 3D, or simply encourage to bite this cake." - Anxious Magazine
"..halfway between The Dead C and The Shadow Ring" - Loop.CL
"real deal post-end times sound excavation" -- World Of Echo
"perfectly recommended!" - Redlight Sanotorium
"new duo out of Croydon, London, feat. Peter Blundell (of great Mosquitoes) and Jussi Palmusaari. As far as experimental post-punk goes, it’s like they were conjured straight out of my dreams: a part-Sightings, part-Shadow Ring amalgam. Blundell unleashes some gorgeously weird bass-lines – think Jah Wobble crammed in one of those precocious British phone booths – as he mutters Tim Goss-style over Palmusaari’s beguiling array of effects. I’m reminded of those great C.I.A. Debutante records from a couple years ago, or the more inspired tracks from one of those early-industrial Vinyl On Demand boxsets. Not sure I want to go as far as to call these tracks “songs”, but there’s a coherence, or a premeditation, that has me remembering them as easily as I can identify Wolf Eyes’s “Stabbed In The Face” from its first few seconds (a neat party trick). Some people will need more than this – verses and choruses, a tidy resolution, drums – but for my money, Thoughts In 3D is exquisitely reduced, with only the strangest and most potent elements given full reign." - YGR
