Andrew Ostler - The Blind Sublime

Andrew Ostler - The Blind Sublime

by Ellison Wolf

How he finds the time, only he knows, but whatever his Secret is, Andrew Ostler is as prolific as they come. You'd think that running his beloved Expert Sleepers modular company would be enough, but his record label of the same name has released some excellent albums the past few years, including some crafted by Ostler himself. His latest, The Blind Sublime, is one such creation, a beautifully wistful four-track release consisting mostly of choral and string samples, and heavily processed saxophone. While the vocals take center stage, it's the skillful layering behind the voices that elevate The Blind Sublime. Ostler's got a bit of yin and yang going on: his company’s module releases—those that both create and manipulate the din, are balanced by his musical releases, which continue to keep us silent as we soak them in. A beautiful release.
