promute

"As Promute, Shaun Sandor creates sound environments where ripples strafe murky surfaces that conceal squirming bioforms beneath. Sandor's electro-organic meditations in beat retain a crisp delineation while moving in geological time: bass lines drift like primordial contienents, drones melt like waning ice ages, percolating hand percussion swarms like insects. This is dance music for the lizard brain, bound up in broad and hypnotically sluggish extemporaneous arcs."

- Brian Howe: Pitchfork Media, Paste Magazine, Independent Weekly, The Thread

"...Shaun Sandor's Promute, which is an excellent melange of homemade electronics and classic, down-to-earth electronica. The woops and drizzles of Promute are like the backdrop for a paddle boat ride through Willy Wonka's underwear drawer - dark, mysterious, yet totally whimsical."

- Charlie St. Clair
