Nelson Beer’s debut album Chorus, recorded at Brasseries Atlas in Brussels, explores the dialectics between acoustics and linguistics; an infatuation with the gap between language and utterance, the lack as evidence of, a spill. A chorus invokes repetition; unanimous collectivity; expression + territory, a logic of multiplicities. Tracks on the album reveal themselves through plurality, embodied by the individual experience. Most of the record’s lyrics evoke the abstract construct of social relations; their downfall, uprise, serendipity and convenience, if not transactional value after all. The rest is sunken in silence: Churches, Pipes, Field-Recordings, Acousmatics, Post-Rock, FM Synthesis, Ambient, Audio Sensory Meridian Response, Art-pop, Sample, Song, Chorus, Trip Hop, LFO Noise, Strings Stroke, Cars, Mechanics appear slow, fast, close, and far away.
