Punishing kick drums are present throughout the recent Semantica Records release, but Material Object goes above and beyond in providing a wide array of samples. \u201cShimmer I\u201d feels like it would be at home on Kompakt\u2019s annual <em>Pop Ambient<\/em> releases and utilizes space-age sounds to subtly build to its crescendo. \u201cShimmer II\u201d is more upfront with its techno credentials, hitting the listener with a droning bass synth; however, the track provides respite with a wandering string patch that makes the track feel more at home in a techno\/house set as opposed to industrial. \u201cShimmer III\u201d is the sparsest track and the one that feels most alien, as if all the musical elements have been filtered through an amorphous space gel. Material Object has produced a fine EP that is suitable for both the club and bedroom listening.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Surgeon, Acronym, Northern Electronics<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1 (Shimmer I), 2 (Shimmer II), 3 (Shimmer III)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Mike Van Esler on 10\/08\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spaced-out techno from Material Object on Semantica Records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":260,"featured_media":50814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[5747,5746,5414,2198,2553],"class_list":["post-50813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","tag-alien","tag-material-object","tag-semantica","tag-space","tag-techno"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Material-Object-Shimmers.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/260"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
