The small sounds get the whole room to themselves here. Jez riley French captures the barely-there — resonances inside salt flats, the granular texture of mineral surfaces translated into sound — with the obsessive precision of someone who believes the world is already music if you listen closely enough. The adagio pacing isn't imposed on the material but emerges from it naturally, each track moving at geological speed. Give the faintest sounds some room; there's more going on at that scale than you might expect.
