“'Tangential City' was coined by my younger brother to describe our neurodivergent conversational style,” says Gordon, “hopping around seemingly unrelated topics that are connected to each other by infinitesimal tangents. I’ve adopted 'Tangential City' as an expression of the real and metaphysical liminal realities we all exist in. It’s the atlas of my musical/artistic mind.”
The single and title track of the new album is probably the most distinctive representation of the this concept. Synths collide in mid air with beats that are hard to pin down. Stomping bass, broken beats and tempo changes just as you think you're getting a grasp on things.
A work of unbound genius.
