On ‘Doesn’t Remember…’, Whettman Chelmets revisits four-track tapes he’d recorded some twenty years earlier. Essentially plundering his own phonics, these provide a starting point for seven atmospheric, constantly-changing, richly-textured mutations. Sounding something like undersea symphonies, perhaps halfway between shoegaze and vaporwave, the album rewards repeated, close listening with blissed-out glimpses of time-warped memories that feel both recognizable and completely new. Out now on Strategic Tape Reserve. This tape is sold out.
