This past winter, Jeremy Greenspan of Junior Boys and Ryan Smith (aka Taraval, and also a touring member of Caribou) returned to their shared hometown of Hamilton, Ontario to record a series of hardware experiments that would become this collaborative EP. After toying with an extensive list of synthesizers that includes, but is not limited to, a Yamaha CS50, a Roland Jupiter 6 and JX8P, and an Arp Odyssey, the pair cut the results down into relatively concise pieces whose exploratory tendencies are counterbalanced by compositional precision. Indebted to process and the materials from which it’s built, skews more subtle and heady than either artist’s solo work.
