Alex Nosek and Jon Tjhia, two guys from Melbourne, are ii - an abstract, sometimes improvised, outfit that combines the ambience of Boards of Canada and the unpredictability of Triosk with abstract drones and the occasional pop-tastic moment. Attempting to define ii is a fairly redundant task, and their latest concoction, Landlakes, is a minimal nocturnal soundtrack for back alleyways with flickering neon lights and candlelit, aromatic lounge rooms. Sparse and cerebral, Landlakes is the Dali of abstract music.
