4/5 stars

The best yet from long-time internet pal Kevin Fanning’s latest musical project. This is ambient music that seeks to “explore the idea of haunted HVAC” and “a vibe I kept calling ‘tuned municipal building.’”

Lovely fuzzy repeating guitar figures and washed-out synth pads, all creeping and/or drifting and/or humming, just enough textural and melodic tension to work as well during the day as it does at night. My favorite track is ‘intuition module,’ with a chord progression that sounds somehow both hopeful and foreboding. The closing track is beautiful as well.

You can certainly hear the likes of Grouper, Cliffdiver (the Austin ambient musician, not the punk band), Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, or Basinski in this, but think this transcends homage and beautifully embodies the “haunted HVAC” concept.
