Always and Forever, Amen is the glorious debut LP from Asheville-based electronic artist William Gerhardt. While the album is best digested from start to finish, “Night Terror” stands out as exemplary of William’s deft compositional style and penchant for exploring a variety of textural landscapes in the course of one composition. The airy synthesizers and a pitch-shifted vocal sample early in the track evoke images of a gleaming dream-world, but it disintegrates just before it is realized. We are affirmed when a steady groove returns out of the fog and gloom of this new realm, however our comfort is fleeting and we are thrust into the void during the outro.
