Raime’s music is so wrapped up in stiffness and solemnity that it feels like, at any moment, a great fault line could crack open within it. The London-based duo of Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead released a series of 12″ singles on the Blackest Ever Black label over the past couple of years, and now their debut full length, Quarter Turns Over a Living Line, is set for release November 19. They’re ostensibly an electronic duo, but on “Your Cast Will Tire” it’s the grating sound of a plectrum scratching up and down guitar strings that dominates, creating the track’s scabrous surface texture.
