Motion Sickness Of Time Travel “The Blossoms”

13 May 2014 — Evelyn Malinowski

Hooker Vision is a rather ideal place for Motion Sickness Of Time Travel to unleash delicate, soon-to-be-taking-shape callings-out to the universe. "The Blossoms" is a strong example of this formative process. The beginning is domniated by a mildly sinister synth loop which, naturally yet with some disinclination, disperses into a meagre amount of distortion under the influence of a tickling, flirtatious middle of the song, before being netted into a beautiful melodic cache, the blossoming taste of the next chapter. The ending melody has a confident and imploring brightness to it, and that is indeed very enticing, whether you live in a place that has already had a hefty share of sun and seasonal newness, or not (like the case for me). This song, then, happy to transform whenever it finally does, overall auditorially stimulates the brain the way short teasers about cycles about plant life do. I'll probably buy this tape, too.

Alpha Piscium will be MSOTT's tenth cassette on Hooker Vision. In preparation for its June release, check out these releases.
