{"product_id":"memotone-pruning","title":"MEMOTONE - Pruning","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"On his Discrepant debut, memotone aka Bristolian Will Yates collects some unreleased recordings under a most aptly titled name -- Pruning -- following a healthy stream of releases for such esteemed labels as Black Acre, The Trilogy Tapes or Soda Gong. Considering the process of pruning as a practice of selective removal, the album takes its name at face value never falling into a mere collection of tossed off material or random B-side assemblage, making it a cohesive listen throughout its disparate timeframe and evasions. A statement about memotone's vision itself, Pruning veers closer to his Fourth World\/ECM\/Exotica meets Sci-fi transmutations in alignment with what would be expected from a memotone release on Discrepant. \"Moss Zone\" briefly sets the tone with a warm but queasy synth bedsheet that flows into the \"Weird Figures\" cyberjungle, all small twinkling percussions and rainforest pads slowly rising. \"Riders\" brings the synth-flute to an early Warp meets John Hassell's City: Works of Fiction scenario that pops up again in more disrupted form on \"Wisdom [MOTHER].\" \"Not What I Thought's\" skewed tropical guitar gets going on lo-fi percussion and dissonant synth chords while \"Jim Starling and The Inverse Church\" bring to mind Autoditacker era Mouse on Mars going jazz-fusion. \"Beach Scene\" is exactly it, as the sun sets into \"Come In [Don't Mind the Ghost]\" Summer night's stars with all the allure of Stereolab. Alluring, that's exactly it. Do come in. Artwork by Evan Crankshaw. Mastered by Rashad Becker.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3982884730\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Discrepant","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":48173650739419,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/CREP093LP_CU.jpg?v=1769021837","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/memotone-pruning","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
