It makes sense, then, that Humcrush's second album should sound like a retread. Both drummer Thomas Strønen and keyboardist Ståle Storløkken are well known for their work with other bands — Strønen plays with Food and Storløkken with Supersilent — and it's hard not to hear this record as an extension of their previous work. The CD collects 11 improvisations (there's another seven tracks on the vinyl version) that highlight the duo's strengths: Strønen is a graceful drummer who dissects (IDM style) groove-based beats highlighting the counter-rhythms at work in the spaces between downbeats, and Storløkken dabbles forcefully with chord-based melodies that explore odd synth patches and suggest mood rather than structure — think Aphex Twin's ambient works crossed with Wendy Carlos's Clockwork Orange soundtrack.
