Though questionably titled, Bose Ensemble’s Eugenic Teddybears is a well executed excursion into aural chaos. Breaking free of practically all conventional restraints, Bose Ensemble have compiled a series of electroacoustic recordings that flirt with cacophony with a reckless and unabashed abandon. You won’t find any artificially-induced atmosphere on this album, just unfettered natural sound. The layers of often repetitious material are salvaged from the brink of tedium by the tasteful brevity of the tracks, which allows the listener to explore the differences of these pieces without getting dragged down by their similarities.
A great break from the more ambient-leaning material I’ve been reviewing lately, but not something that I would find myself pulling out to listen to repeatedly.
[Rating:2.5/5]
