Our Take

Andrea Parkins and Matthew Ostrowski's latest collaboration, "Elective Affinities," is a refreshing blend of experimental sounds and innovative techniques. The duo's unique approach to music creation is both captivating and boundary-pushing, making this album a must-listen for any avant-garde music enthusiast.

From the opening track "Unraveling the Hidden," Parkins and Ostrowski showcase their mastery of blending electronic elements with more traditional instrumentation. The result is a sonic landscape that is both chaotic and beautiful, with layers of sound intertwining to create a truly immersive listening experience.

Tracks like "Luminous Noir" and "Entropy's Children" showcase the duo's ability to create intricate, evolving compositions that keep the listener engaged from start to finish. Parkins' use of extended techniques on the accordion adds a unique texture to the music, while Ostrowski's mastery of electronic manipulation adds depth and complexity to each track.

Overall, "Elective Affinities" is a triumph of experimentation and creativity, with Parkins and Ostrowski pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of avant-garde music. This album is a testament to the duo's talent and vision, and a must-have for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons.
