This is the second full-length album from Jay Fields, aka Exillon, following releases on several experimental labels. I must say The Keening Dithers opens in real style with the excellent Aliasing, where stuttering ambient tones fuse with clicks, cuts and bitty percussion. Moonlight Sinatra is even better, seamlessly amalgamating classical piano with detailed electronica.

Termit then delves into horror soundtrack territory, overlapping waves of bent, one fingered synth lines to juddering beats - nightmarish stuff! Cadi is another gem as melodic synth droplets splash into micro-percussive caverns, whilst Now You’ll Never Know drops acoustic guitar and vocal samples into the mix to deliver something a little more emotive yet still rather uncanny.

The second half of The Keening Dithers is less accessible, often going completely berserk with splattergun programming to create dizzying, Squarepusher-style mind benders. However, The Keening Dithers does get rather self-indulgent towards its close, but it’s still well worth checking out.
