伊萊·凱斯勒

The first listen had me pacing the room—Keszler's percussive layers hit harder on vinyl than through my streaming setup. Side A's dynamic range is stunning, and the album art on the gatefold is worth the purchase alone.

The pressing is dead quiet, which lets all the intricate percussion textures really breathe. It’s been on heavy rotation since it landed, and the dynamic range on “Loud Things” is just stunning.

I've been following Eli Keszler's work for a while, and this self-titled album is a perfect distillation of his percussive style—the vinyl pressing is dead quiet, letting every cymbal shimmer through. Only wish the gatefold sleeve had more liner notes, but the music itself is stellar.
