Every aspect of their approach had been refined and focused: squalling, distorted guitars had been transformed into hazy, sensual sheets; the live drums transmuted to sampled rhythms more in debt to the blossoming downtempo sound of the day; bass lines reduced to their most basic diagrams; vocals submerged to become one with the narcotized fog of the instruments; even the lyrics were reduced to a few minimal lines used sparingly so as not to overshadow the dynamic. Beat is a lush and dense mantra of shadowy percussion, barely-there vocals and immersive drones that envelops the listener in an opiated blanket of sound. Includes the bonus track \"Low Density,\" not featured on the original U.S. release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kranky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51186701009119,"sku":"37988337","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0312\/7630\/2471\/files\/796441801411_main.jpg?v=1786395858","url":"https:\/\/www.feelitrecordshop.com\/products\/bowery-electric-beat-2lp","provider":"Feel It Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
