NOTHING AGAINST THE OCEAN / set in sand(aka lendin hopes)
Lendin has synthesized all the elements of his early work into a weird piece of sonic experimentation masquerading as a sort of Pop album. Half of the albums 8 songs feature vocals, a surreal blend of androgynous singing and hyperactive MC work.

Nothing Against The Ocean
"Nothing Against The Ocean" is the debut CD of Set In Sand, licensed by Hue (JAPAN) from Abandon Building Records (US). Set in Sand (one of the many aliases of producer Lendin Hopes) was brought into this world around 2000, originally designed as a purely electronic and instrumental project working within the nether-regions of IDM.
In this new album, Lendin has synthesized all the elements of his early work into a weird piece of sonic experimentation masquerading as a sort of Pop album. Half of the albums 8 songs feature vocals, a surreal blend of androgynous singing and hyperactive MC work. The music is based around skeletons of guitar and programmed beats with multiple layers of digital nonsense wrapped around them. A most distinct touch is Lendin's use of live drums in complimentary patterns over the grounding electronic percussion. It results in a blurring mesh of chaotic calm, establishing a kind of fresh voice in the world of beatmaking. In other words it's pretty decent stuff.
