Structure Factor 8 : A Conveniently Placed Closed-Minded Fellow
DWL017 / IOR002-2 . Released 2000 . Out of Print Description Short and spastic EP from Ionik head Michael Winters' solo project - Datawaslost helped distribute this Ionik release. These memorable from-the-bedroom indie pop tunes are spearheaded by digital surf guitar, moody acoustic chords, space-age electronics and androgynous vocals with a warm feel and concrete substance. Structure Factor 8 places one foot in whirlwind '80s pop, another in '60s British rock and its mutated third appendage in the future of post-rock as we know it. Try dancing to that! Quick sonic odes home in on melody, giving your ears an abrupt burst of pop-tinged beauty that's freaky enough to catch your attention, yet durable enough to retain it. Hip-swaggerin' magnetism and obtuse, body-shakin' arrangements keep you on your toes throughout this six-song EP. By the last track, you've been dumped into an air-gapped vacuum, enabling you to drift happily off into airless space, realizing that the music world is indeed a better place now that you've experienced Structure Factor 8 in its full form.
