_Texturology_ continues and expands Beaumont Hannant’s explorations of sound, from the long swirls and breaks of “Teqtonic” to the sedate but no less complex “Vague.” Hannant oftentimes holds back his melodies until the midway point (as in “Shades of Haze), establishing the mood first. “A Summer Spent” is a warm slice of melancholy, while the modulated voices in “Oblique” adds a certain eeriness. The tracks also show careful development: the various iterations of “Crouton” flow into one another. _Texturology_ seems to have more consistency than Hannant’s previous long player and holds together better as an album. “Latur” drifts quietly at the start, only to introduce some acid-laced waveforms midway and a delicate piano line towards the end. Excellent.
