From the tentative clack, crackle and occasional tremolo guitar intro comes a song like a moebius strip, flowing and bending and twisting back onto itself. Okay sings in a sharp confident voice, cutting through the underlying bed of quiet, softly distorted hiss.
If you ever wondered what a collaboration between David Bowie and Brian Eno might sound like, look no further than Okay. Unless, of course, you want to look all the way to the Bowie/Eno collaborations Heroes and Low. [Buy]

Pokett sings along with his guitar’s jaunty travelling bass notes, distracting somewhat from the vaguely creepy repetitive insistence of the treble line. At 2:05, the vocals cut out and free the guitar to explore new impressionistic paths, both beautiful and not entirely uncreepy, seemingly leading into a quiet but ever more unstable storm of rapidly panning electronic noise.
