Robin Crutchfield’s Dark Day never really stopped making haunting hypnotic electronic melodies. Strange Clockwork contains 20 cog-like, cyclic instrumental tracks with layers of melody and percussive rhythm on unusual-sounding instruments with a comicly sinister edge. Robin composed, arranged and recorded all the material himself incorporating an unusual-sounding variety of instruments, with orchestral or quirkier natures, and applying layering and looping techniques to his infectiously catchy, and atmospheric melodies, using contrapuntal rhythms to accent their odder qualities, making for hypnotically, comically, sinister results–a brand of strange clockworklike electronica that doesn’t sound electronic.
