CD [ aquarius records ]

K N O W F I is a forty minute life cycle of fuzzed-out drones, washing machine melodies and post-human dilemmas. Constructed from hundreds of unfolding layers, this album ranges from simple and hypnotic to dense and dramatic.

"We'd recommend that you sit right down, settle in for a spell, and allow the heavily processed and densely layered drones, fleeting melodies, found sounds and other noise generators melt together into every crack and crevice of your ear drums. Awash with ever-evolving warbly, woobly wonderfulness! "
-Aquarius Records

"...we have a very intriguing series of quite fierce electronic music spread across 12 inscrutable and foggy tracks of all-instrumental goop. What I like about it is the loud volume, the general ‘heaviness’ of some of their reverberating bass tones, and the impolite but spare use of sampling. At their best, The Mays can be mystifying and mesmerizing, working like sorcerers who conceal their work behind impenetrable symbols. By all means, do investigate this oddity!"."
-The Sound Projector

"Oxygen deprived awake on ambien core/ whipp-itcore scifi winter music drone. Icy, spacey, low aquatic, end twisting frequencies from synthesized & organic sources w/ scratchings, scrapings and field recordings. The bass textures are the highlight of the album, and each track is a different fucked up from huffing soylent green night in a module on solaris where you see ghosts of your ex-wife sleeping with every bartender that ever served. All tracks fade in to each other. you dig this, check out Xiphiidae, Sky Limousine, Softwar, Loscil.
