A few days after the wonderful Dunk! festival (read my review), Aidan Baker returned to Belgium to play in the Consouling Store (Ghent) with his Caudal project. I wanted to be there but a acute medical condition kept me locked to my sofa. Luckily, there is this new two track ep to comfort me. One day I will finally be able to see Caudal live, but for now, I will enjoy 'Slope-Land' a few times a day. I suggest you do the same.
For those not familiar with Caudal, I'll explain. Caudal is a three piece instrumental rock band. "krautrock" is the term for this initially German approach to rock music. It drives on an immersive and somewhat repetitive bass and drums on which heaps of soundscapes and ambient take the listener on a psychedelic journey. On the two tracks on this ep, aptly named 'Slope' and 'Land', Caudal delivered a perfect example of how gentle and enthralling this music can be.
Those who are familiar with this band will probably hear nothing new, nothing really different from their previous releases. However, it still is an excellent piece of work with two high quality tunes. I think fans of Caudal can easily trust the band to deliver the goods and in a way they seem to become better and better and creating these immersive tunes. So yes, this ep comes highly recommended.
