My Grandfather, the Cubist

Analog monophonic synths arranged with mathematical precision. A cold, wintery exploration of memory and geometry through minimalist clockwork pop.

May 27, 2008 · Tooth & Nail Records

A disciplined, mathematical melancholy that finds warmth in the precision of analog circuitry.

Moments Worth Listening For

The interlocking, clock-like synth pulses that open Victorian Intuition, setting a rigid yet whimsical pace.

The stark, lonely vocal melody in I Recall the Telephone Booth that feels suspended in a digital void.

The sudden shift into the abstract, geometric textures of the title track's closing movements.
