You can hear the distinct wood of the drum sticks hitting the rims; you can hear the slight fret buzz on Townshend’s guitar during the aggressive rhythmic stabs. The title track, with its polymetric synth loops, transforms from a backing track into a swirling, three-dimensional soundscape. First, his new New York City-based label then
