InchI had always thought aboutMarkus Floats as a solo project but I am wrong about that. Fourth Album is about asking forhelp, inviting in, and making a home. It's about trust, exploration, and the effort of letting go.InchSharing his in-progress recordings with a trio of close friends and collaborators from thepowerhouse free music ensemble Egyptian Cotton Arkestra, each of these players then spent aday improvising to the tracks at Montréal's Hotel2Tango studio.

The result is afluid, lustrous, dynamic expansion of his sound and structure that continues to strike theineffable balance of abstraction and soulfulness rightly highlighted and celebrated in thecritical response to Third Album. Fourth Album sustains much of that previous work'senchanting equanimity, while inviting a bit more restlessness, accident and grit, with theincorporation of acoustic instruments and improvisation melding Floats' own background inElectroacoustic Studies and Jazz Performance more than ever before.Signature avant-electronic explorations of arpeggiated and timbral transformation, subtleshifts in harmonic consonance and dissonan

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
