Brian Tibbs – At The Edge (Album Digital – Off Label)
I wasn’t initially drawn to the work of this American artist. This album, with its 6 tracks, is challenging to categorize by style. It leans heavily into the Experimental, infused with Minimal-Electro sounds and intricate arrangements. Slow rhythms and dark atmospheres envelop the compositions, where Brian Tibbs also ventures into vocal experimentation. There’s a faint echo of Haujobb in the distance. This is an intelligent and complex body of work that may resonate with only a select few, but it ultimately won me over. (Rating: 7½)
