- An oblique instrumental worked into ethereal pop.
- Eli Keszler's whirring, percussion-driven compositions don't seem like they would yield themselves well to vocals. There's an intricate, dynamic spontaneity to his work that disorients by playing with the concepts of space and time. But if there is anyone who could effectively turn this challenging output into structured song, it's New York band duendita.
The leftfield R&B act recently remixed the Icons cut "Dawn" in honour of the album's first birthday. duendita manipulate the track into an unearthly slice of pop, with a droning, warped verse about a beautiful sunrise that rests on top of loops built Keszler's shimmering tonal percussion. Like the last official Keszler remix—Kode9's skittering take on "Static Doesn’t Exist"—duendita's contributions highlight the more straightforward side of the experimental drummer's sound. It's a reminder that, in spite of his avant-garde sensibilities, Keszler is an increasingly lauded figure in a trendy and prominent online art scene.
