John Paul Bohon's Terlingua is teeming with electronic life, a record that quite literally synthesizes the veteran musician and engineer's tactile approach to sound and has resulted in a mind-expanding work possessing impossible warmth. Terlingua is equally reminiscent of the languid, electronics-focused psych of legendary forebears like Cluster and Can alongside the ecstatic sprawl of contemporaries like Bitchin Bajas and Kaitlin Aurelia Smith. Bohon constructs entire worlds on these seven tracks, dense with jagged terrain that provides a thrilling journey for listeners. Utilizing an array of vintage synths and electronic instruments, Bohon made extensive use of reel-to-reel tape manipulation across Terlingua. The process added layers of warm texture that ripple through moments like the planetary ecstasy of the album's bookending "Alice" suites, which resemble the sharp ambient drone of Kompakt founder Wolfgang Voigt. Terlingua is Bohon stretching his legs and considerable analog know-how to craft a work that heads towards total aural bliss, making for another exciting entry in an increasingly fascinating catalog.
