Album Review: Dorian Concept - Joined Ends

With sonic architecture this complex the term “background music” might seem a bit of an insult. But it’s not. Believe me.

Joined Ends gets under your skin and permeates your environment. Whether it’s the woozy, ever-changing Tried (Now Tired), the pulsating groove of Anne River, Mn, or the frenetic urgency of Trophies, Dorian Concept has come up with an album that becomes a part of the world around you almost immediately. The dedication Concept shows to building a resonant groove, and then riding it, recalls the high points of LCD Soundsystem’s stunning Sounds Of Silver. Make Joined Ends part of your life. You’ll be pleased you did.
