As we reported not long ago, the nebulous Downliners Sekt recently released the third installment of its EP trilogy, Meet the Decline, and are now giving us the opening track from that release to share with you. “All I Can Hear Now” is a prime example of what makes the production outfit so hard to pin down: The pair seems to utilize all of its musical ideas and influences at once, not worrying too much about styles or genres. In this song we hear what sounds like tweaked recordings of a folk singer playing a ditty on an acoustic guitar, brief piano flourishes, distorted transmissions from a pocket radio, distant orchestral compositions, and a constant rumble of low-end. Downliners Sekt’s song is at once melodic and off-kilter, mysterious and familiar, and, above all, touchingly beautiful. You can hear how the rest of the Meet the Decline EP matches up, and stream it all here.
