Embracing a hard-nosed calling card of an album title, Coin Gutter vividly illustrates an album full of sonic peaks and valleys – all demanding of your attention. Dubbing themselves as “new land” (for Western Canada and the Prairies) creators of some musique concrète — Coin Gutter are highly adept at creating fully realized, dynamic, dark narratives all within one track. Their sounds wouldn’t be out of place on a soundtrack, and the Vancouver duo has in fact composed works for modern dance. There is a strong visual element to the sound that Coin Gutter creates: harsh at one moment, quiet, distilled and detailed the next. The crashing sonic build-up that collides into the release of sonic intensity and ultimate quiet make for a highly visceral listening experience. This detailed headphone stuff would definitely equate to an interesting live performance.
