Reform is the first work by Stave. The album is an exercise in precision and spacialization, with isolated electronics and icy beats producing a grisaille of vaporized metals.

Tracks move from disembodied murk and blunted pulses to sustained forcefulness. Touch points include techno, ambient and industrial predecessors, all bent gravitationally towards a dark, cold and unsettling soundworld.

Based in Chicago, Stave is the solo project of Jonathan Krohn who also collaborates in the group Male and techno outfit Talker. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
