“TIAGDTD” is a slow hallucination, spiraling inward with a strange grace. Matt Bachmann builds a rhythmic floor that feels both meditative and unsteady, where Derek Baron’s minimalist drums and James Krivchenia’s congas form a kind of twitchy heartbeat under clouds of bass clarinet and flickering synth debris. The track hovers in that space between stillness and motion, tension and trance. The video leans into that ambiguity, with Bachmann and Sophia Treanor moving in loose, mirrored choreography. Green spandex limbs lock in poses that shift from hypnotic to uncanny. It’s a little like Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno by way of dream logic: odd, tender, a little absurd, and entirely mesmerizing. Everything floats just slightly off-axis but never loses its pull.
“TIAGDTD” appears on Bachmann’s upcoming album, Compost Karaoke, out on September 12 via Orindal Records.
