Superlatives fall short in capturing the essence of the prolific music collective Air Krew. Their repertoire spans from cozy bedroom electronics to abstract hip-hop and iridescent lo-fi ambient, weaving seemingly contradictory elements into a magnificent and moving sonic collage. This harmonious fusion is exemplified in the work of Piper Spray and Lena Tsibizova, two core members of the collective, particularly in their latest offering ‘Debtor of Presence,’ the opening track, ‘Fisher.’
On ‘Fisher,’ a piece from their forthcoming Theory Therapy debut, Piper Spray and Lena Tsibizova craft an optimistic and almost purifying ambiance that seamlessly transitions into enigmatic vocals and Badalamenti-esque sentimentality, ultimately evolving into abstract broken beat. Each new element introduces a deliberate deviation, yet cleverly circles back to the starting point, three left turns can make a right.
