Everywhere I Go

Like the traveler who wakes up in a warm bed inside an unfamiliar house, Clear Thing’s Everywhere I Go finds its weight pressed into half-remembered contours, drifting between mesmerized bliss and disconcerting oddness. The debut release from the Los Angeles duo of Ernest Gibson and Erik Frydenborg (both formerly of Net Shaker) wanders through unseen habitats: opaque austral canopy, shimmering remote beachfronts, moonstruck Delvaux plazas, deep starless seabeds. Its 10 songs unfold like a travelogue of the teeming ecosystems and hidden attractions of these spectral realms. Clear Thing moves at an unhurried pace, building dense assemblages of refurbished kosmische, sweaty police procedural synth, reverb-drenched guitar, and sideways tropical flourishes. Jittery hand drums, kalimba, and flutters of recorder lend the proceedings a rustic slackness, while insistent riffs and basslines conjure amnesiac approximations of late-century AOR. Squint at Clear Thing’s footfall, and you’ll find washed-out traces of Jon Hassell’s “Fourth World” where their tracks land. Scratch a little deeper and you’ll unearth other particles—a rounded chunk of Black Ark era Dub, a nibbled bit of lap steel that might have floated in from Santo & Johnny’s Hawaii. But the shapes the duo constructs from these upturned fragments are slippery and ever-shifting—silhouettes at the edge of night. Full of relays between anthemic urgency and psychotropic enchantment, Everywhere I Go channels signals from adjacent worlds, humming along while the green things grow.
