Album Review: Dorian Concept - Joined Ends

James d'Apice
StarStarStarStar

"Make Joined Ends part of your life. You’ll be pleased you did."

More Dorian Concept Dorian Concept Profile

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.
