We don’t know a lot about Black Polygons. They are tentatively from Paris! But their starting free EP was enamoring enough for me to wait for more and the wait was utterly worthwhile. Here you can stream their self-titled minimal ambient noise-psych machine LP and have the first song “Symmetry” for free.

[♫] Black Polygons - “Symmetry”

The album consists of 13 profoundly atmospheric experimental electronic soundscapes that despite the short duration do not serve as Prefuse 73-like short circuits. To my opinion each track gives birth to its own observatory probe while - just like the act’s withdrawn identity - does not divulge and elaborate on its offspring. This keeps us longing for more. But the work is kaleidoscopic enough to be gone through again. I’ll keep you posted if they let us know who they are.
