- As well as sharing shifts at the legendary Brooklyn thrift store The Thing, Willie Burns and Jon "Entro Senestre" Beall occasionally make music together as Daywalker + CF. The pair have made a few club burners—2014's "Supersonic Transport" for L.I.E.S. springs to mind—under this name, but Daywalker + CF records usually feature a number of styles, laid down while the pair are "aimlessly jamming in Burns' smoky studio." This approach continues on their fourth 12-inch together, released on Beall's BANK Records NYC.
"Wave Force" sees the pair revisit the formula that made "Supersonic Transport" so effective. You can distil it down to a few key elements: huge, clanking drums that land on a crunchy low-end as synth lines seep inwards to add washes of psychedelia. Different angles are explored on the nine-minute sprawler "Rhythm Wolf," where percussive textures probe for ways to break through a desolate panorama of synthesised noise. The cosmic synth noodles verge on goofy, but then neither producer approaches his music with dead-eyed seriousness. The beatless closer, "Between The Worlds," finds the pair in a reflective mood. It offers a neat interplay between phrases of synthesis, and is the sort of B2 you might initially gloss over but later find is perfect for stranger sets.
