Jonas Reinhardt Foam Fangs

Foam Fangs could be a term used to describe 100% Silk’s
preferred take on that too-easily dismissed ’70s dancefloor
dementia of disco—the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on
steady / ready perma-revolve. Jesse Reiner (Jonas Reinhardt’s
first mister, alongside past / parttime collaborators
like Phil Manley of Trans Am and Damon Palermo of Mi
Ami and Magic Touch), who never quite had the Kranky
krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on,
Tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic Moroder
constellations on his latest EP.
Nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery
in Reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco.
Suddenly we’re beaming back to a time when the world
looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver,
chrome and neoprene. It’s a sonic space both transparent
and shiny; the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data,
scrolling through infinite space.
Opener “Foam Fangs” transports us instantly into an
ever-expanding universe of sound and light fanning out
and folding in on itself at once. Variations on that theme
continue as the Jonas journey oscillates through the beatbeyond.
