Taken from Tabs Out Thanks Dave!
MILLIONS “Shredded Heaven” c30 (Baked Tapes)
Brooklyn resident David Suss, the man working behind the Millions curtain since roughly 2007 offers up his recent recipe Shredded Heaven, which comes to us fresh out of the Baked Tapes neighborhood oven. It’s a damn tasty treat and is well worth keeping in the Rolodex for your next dinner party. I may be wrong but I’d venture to guess that he called this one Shredded Heaven because he got as pissed as I did when he found out those fucking nebula pictures they take in space are actually doctored on a computer to look so cool. Jerks.
Side one is a cosmic drone of the highest order. While being firmly anchored to a foundation of deep, rounded synth thrumming and soft static buzzes, it is also in a constant state of slow, focused fluctuation. Suss is super zoned in here and with a sure, steady, sometimes undetectable hand, he valiantly forges an animate universe of radiant warmth and monolithic force. Ethereal wisps race through the heavenly body at warp speed and slowly evaporate amidst countless brilliant constellations singing beautifully in gracious, reverent chorus. It’s a spectacle to behold and this shit wasn’t colored by Nasa. Fucking assholes.
The flip side unearths some of the deeper buried elements of the first side and incorporates them into more subdued atmospherics. Gentle guitars echo in delicate patters, rippling through warm swelling strings and humming synthesizers. Slow airy mutations shape the backdrop, tense illuminations slowly begin to permeate the surface and a sharp, rusty stringed guitar phrase sends us off. Suss is really on a roll lately and this release is no exception. It’s still available via Baked Tapes, which I might add is also on quite a roll. Go get it and pick up a couple of their other goodies while you’re at it.
