Ball of Wax 69 Songs: Vörtlimpa – “Pauline Meadows”

Harsh metallic noises meet the sounds of nature, with birds chirping all across the stereo field. But are these chirps from natural birds, or are they actually synthesized screeches? Paranoia in the age of artificial everything can lead to this question, but we can enjoy the track’s several minutes of reverberating atmospheres, unanswered questions, and pastoral mysteries regardless of any particular sound’s origin. Ultimately, the track’s electronic/natural combo makes for an intriguing hybrid and a fitting conclusion to Ball of Wax Volume 69.
