End the Summertime F(or)ever (LP)
Botany
Amoeba Review
For his first Botany album in four years, Spencer Stephenson turns his looping, sampling psychedelia toward the current political climate, lending themes of unrest an appropriately surreal atmosphere. These are portentous soundscapes that mesmerize the ears and inner mind. A standout track like "Tele-Vangelis" is so murky and ominous that Stephenson could easily have dragged it out into an unnecessary opus, but it's all the better for its structured three-minute and fourteen-second run.
