Walls
(
Alessio Natalizia
and
Sam Willis
) return with their third and final studio album,
Urals
.
Urals
is the conclusion of a three-album cycle that began with their self-titled debut in 2010 (KOMP 082CD/KOM 212LP), and continued in 2011 with
Coracle
(KOMP 091CD/KOM 245LP). This album is an accumulation of four years of studio exploration, inverting their signature sound into a new, more intense dimension, the duo once again exploring futuristic vistas with their coruscating synth lines, spiraling guitar figures, and howling distortion and noise. Informed by the creation/curation of their burgeoning Ecstatic Recordings imprint that has seen them release music by kindred spirits such as
Pye Corner Audio
,
Axel Willner
(
The Field
), and
L/F/D/M
, among others, as well as their own individual explorations (Natalizia's caustic, minimal synth workouts as
Not Waving
, and Willis's lurid, ritualistic techno as
Primitive World
)
Urals
pushes the envelope a long way from the template they set out with on tracks such as "Burnt Sienna" or "Hang Four." From the stumbling, off-kilter groove of the title-track to the probing kosmische pulses of "Altai" to the intense, ear-shredding acid of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" to the sublime synth-scape paean "Radiance," it's clear that Willis and Natalizia are taking leave of the Walls project at the top of their game. Mastered by
Sonic Boom
(
Spacemen 3
,
Spectrum
) at New Atlantis Studios.
