Luke Philips weaves a love letter to the natural world and all those special little beings that populate it on 'Pour l'amour des insectes'. This time working under their Clay Monke alias, 'Pour l'amour des insectes' is a divergence in approach following their last release with Vivarium as IDIOT, veering into total ambient immersion by augmenting nature recordings against shimmering glitch loops and transfixing walls of drone. Their penchant for idiosyncratic manipulations shine, transmuting the chatter of bugs into stuttering electronics, hybridizing the organic and synthetic to make for an aural experience abuzz with beauty.
