CD REVIEW: CAURAL, MIRRORS FOR EYES

Dec 18, 2006 6:03 PM, By Kristi Kates

Zachary Mastoon's second release for Mush Records arrives on a silver platter from left field, serving up another of his layer-cake ambient feasts of experimental sound. Mixing up organic instrumentations with peppery metallic electronics, it's a noisy set best listened to with both ears as Caural slices and dices playful drumbeats, floaty synths and handpicked guest musicians, all to do production justice to such innovative compositions as the weary “Cold Hands” (with Hrishikesh Hirway), the phased vocal trickery of “I Won't Race You” and the clap-along 3-D stylings of “Dead Armies.”
