Magnetic Ghosts / Prismatic Hosts by William Henry Meung
To say William Henry Meung is a veteran of the NZ experimental scene would be quite misleading but he definitely fits into a category of the most hard-working member of it.
His work rarely fits into the idiom of something easy to describe as on one hand he has quite a strong ethos of a singer-songwriter, but on another level he is slow to become an experimentalist in a more academic understanding of this term.
His use of simple lo-fi techniques and equipment proves only how much you can make out of a simple set up and how many emotions you can tend to and address in un-obviously simple arrangements.
He is coming back with a new album that puts a sombre and melancholic tone to the songs/non songs that easily delude a listener to stream between the lines of some new wave backdrop with an ambient noise sensitivity, even with a rhythmic glamour of some lo-fi idm aesthetic.
He does it very well and without too much effort to become something overtly intellectual, just getting to the core of the mellowness and introvertive playoff.
This little gem is released also as a lathe cut.
