Kassel Jaeger – Shifted In Dreams

»Shifted In Dreams« is also difficult to describe without falling back on clichés. My first association was to William Basinski with a no-loft aura, but does that really help anyone? Kassel Jaeger relies too little on the effect of singular loops for that anyway, but still acknowledges their shattering effect in all these droney molasses and so repeatedly sets beguiling punchlines in an otherwise very hermetic album.
