Fluttering chimes, acoustic piano, gently chugging drum machines and lethargic tape manipulations make for one of Luke Philips' most diverse collage of styles on "Quix and Quandary". A confounding, frustrated sketchbook, a soundtrack to things falling and opening apart and the cautious comfort of regression. Lively disruptions upend Clay Monke's lush soundscapes for a curious contrast, the ebb and flow to a procession of glitchy ambient sketches.
