Never Easy Never Been Easier was sequenced in Nicaragua "during a surf/recording project" upon falling victim to the sounds from never-ending beach parties. As a result, the record stretches infinitely to the horizon - each of its six tracks flows seamlessly into the next, creating a continuous loop of minimal house just shy of 40 minutes long.
Without a way of distinguishing one track from the next, the record moves in sinusoidal waves at a constant 120BPM. Synth washes in and out, aided by miscellaneous additional percussion, all rather unpredictably. Listening too closely in anticipation of variant ideas can be rather mind-numbing, but at a distance, Never Easy Never Been Easier will keep you moving. It's dance floor ready, as is Carlson, who is expected to embark on a tour in support of the record before long. Hear a cut below.
