Sand Like Stardust (LP)
Jordan Reyes
Amoeba Review
Composer and member of experimental group ONO, Jordan Reyes kicks off Sand Like Stardust with the haunting, a cappella track "Pre-Dawn Light" before diving into ambient guitar, modulated synths and gentle electronics. Representing themes inspired by the Wild West, these pieces paint somber valleys and canyons in subtle shades. "High Noon's" distorted, warping lap-steel guitar hints at a spaghetti Western soundtrack, while "A Grain of Sand" is darker and almost more in line with a gritty sci-fi score. In keeping with ONO's socially conscious works, the album is also meant to reexamine the idea of the cowboy archetype and its relationship with colonialism.
