I

The long-awaited fourth full-length by F?llakzoid isn?t merely a recalibration for ? the band. It is a multidimensional reconsideration of what the process of song- writing, performance, and creating a work of recorded music can be. F?llakzoid grows via depuration, aiming with each record to fill longer spaces of time with fewer and fewer elements. The creative perspective of the band has al- ways been about unlearning the narrative and musical knowledge that shape the physical and digital formats and conceptions available, both visually and musi- cally in order to make a time-space metric structure that dissolves both the author and the narrative paradigms. 'We found our sonic and metric identity even more in these songs than in our previous attempts,' guitarist/singer Doming? Garcia- Huidobro explains. Unlike past F?llakzoid records, that were done in single takes with the full band, this record took three months to construct out of more than 60 separate stems ? guitars, bass, drums, synthesizers, and vocals, all recorded in isolation. Producer Atom TM, who was not present for recording, was then asked to re-organize the four sequences of stems without any length, structural restrictions or guidelines. Those sequences ultimately became the four long tracks that appear on I. The result of this was a set of songs where neither the band?s, nor the producer?s, structural vision primarily shaped the metric or tonal space shifts, but where both were still subliminally pres
