Blankenese caters to a soothing, melancholic mood and operates the lucid plane of memory. Lush sonic landscapes weave in and out throughout the tape, with its main features being looped field recordings, electroacoustic assemblages, and ethereal vocals. ‘Next Of Kin’ ushers the listener into the intimate realm of the release, hypnotizing through the circling melody. On the B-side ‘Since You’ve Been Away (Tell Me Why)’ presents an ambient, droney heartbreak song, where the intensity is tangible through the striking guitar and repeated vocal.
