REVIEWS OF
"FADED PICTURES" BY KARMØY
Igloomag - 12/02/05
(Part of a review combo/feature)
"Karmøy’s 3-track Faded Pictures EP describes itself quite
well. The title tracks unleashes a nostalgic flavor that casually clicks and
flicks its way around a sizzling backdrop just as the beat begins to take shape. "Pivotal
Moments" also manifests earlier Pole concepts of minimal refractions and
snapping revelations. The differences occur when a glitchy backbone of melodies
weave their way from the foreground into what could be described as fluid electrical
fluctuations. On the closing "Adjunct," the emotional reveal of synths
is ever present, a sincere melody subliminally merges with Lexaunculpt style
precision. It's the presence of ingenuity and creativity that allows "Adjunct" to
close Faded Pictures with absolute control and finesse."

"The second release on mp3 label
Boltfish and its getting better all the time.
Karmoy plays
the game with chilled lives and small powerful
powerups, and then ditches them all to take
it back to the level, how can all this be free?.
Mad sh**."

"...Atmospheric subliminal
broken beats. Silvered sounds enchained in a lullaby of musical notes
reflecting the innocent and the sensual at the
same time. They just made my brain explode in one million incandescent fireflies!"
