Becoming A Bed gathers seven tracks that run the gamut between battered drum-machine beats, minimal-wave, scratchy noise, and spoken word. \"Romp With Monty\" is the album's least demented moment and delightfully evocative of it's title with simple melodies and rigid drum machine patterns. A sharp contrast to the flailing gabber and breaks combination on \"Cabbage Land\", resembling something akin to Jamal Moss or Beau Wanzer experiencing a severe breakdown of both mind and hardware. These hybrids of erratic, free percussion and wild synth blurts (see also \"Midi 2\") lend the album a charming edge, favoring a playful kind of experimentation which extends to the album's calmer moments too. \"Bedtime Story\" provides one such bit of respite and the only appearance of Vinciguerra's voice, processed here in a cold, curious monolog that ruminates on lethargy and illness, atop looping dark ambient textures. It's position in the album providing a centerpiece of cavernous and confounding simplicity. Elsewhere, tongue-in-cheek end skits sound as if they were heckled at the end of a gig and then decidedly left on the tape. The reckless rave of closing cut \"Speed Ave\" reflects this in-the-moment sensibility, the machines being close to escaping their captain. It may provide the most didactic dancing effort on the record, but neatly aligns with a loose and uninhibited mindset that skirts around the same warped techno vision as label affiliates Cru Servers or Acolytes. This is music for the most fun of dancefloors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Trevor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32269741817927,"sku":"39700377","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3747308-2511182.jpg?v=1711121811","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/trevor-becoming-a-bed","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
