Wander/Wonder

Balam Acab’s Wander/Wonder on Tri Angle finds the producer dissolving dubstep’s percussive scaffolding into abstract, vaporous textures—half-formed beats dissolve into spectral pad work and processed field recordings. Released during Tri Angle’s reign as the UK’s most forward-thinking leftfield imprint, this vinyl captures Acab at his most ethereal, treating bass music as a launching point for something altogether more fragmented and dreamlike.
