Eluder's 2008 release dwells in the quieter registers of drone music, building slow harmonic movements from layered guitar and electronics reduced to a few clear tones. The title's fixation on a singular, pure color carries through in the music's restraint — each piece pursues one idea with patient devotion rather than accumulating texture for its own sake. Tones bloom and decay at the pace of natural light shifting across a room. There's little to interrupt that slow change in color; the individual tones have plenty of room.
