Sergey Suokas (aka Slow) is a Russian musician with a penchant for placid surfaces and anxious undercurrents. His still compositions may or may not run deep, but what’s active just below the surface taunts and attracts undeniably. His new, six-track album Dual Box on the Resting Bell label includes quickly vibrating shoegazer minimalism set above a richly throbbing bass and interspersed with backward-masked motives (“Dreaming,” MP3), and prayer-bowl meditations layered above whispy figments of anxious noise (“Chinatown,” MP3), among other things.
