Indeed you do...

"...It’s a heavy tune with no definable emotional tang beyond an odd ‘fleeting rapture’; in this respect, it fits nicely with the Basic Channel aesthetic, where the productions of Von Oswald and collaborator Mark Ernestus are glorious and overwhelming, but distant – not cold, but somehow removed. Their impact relies on submission; you willingly lose yourself in the luster of their gun-metal, greyscale noises – grainy reverb and tape hiss, rolling waves of texture, endless plateaus of rhythm."
