Review by Rodrigo Linck

Chin Progress, the latest album from experimental musician Jeph Jerman, is a fascinating exploration of sound and texture. The album consists of six tracks, each of which features a different approach to creating sonic landscapes. From the opening track, "Chin Progress," which features a collage of found sounds and field recordings, to the closing track, "Chin Progress (Reprise)," which reworks the opening track into a haunting ambient piece, Jerman demonstrates a mastery of his craft.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Chin Progress (Part Two)," which features a hypnotic drone that slowly evolves over the course of its nine-minute runtime. The track is both meditative and unsettling, as Jerman adds layers of noise and distortion to the mix, creating a sense of unease that builds to a crescendo before fading into silence.

Another highlight is "Chin Progress (Part Four)," which features a more traditional musical structure, with Jerman playing a variety of instruments, including a bowed cymbal and a prepared guitar. The track has a dreamlike quality to it, as Jerman weaves together disparate elements into a cohesive whole.
