Review by Justin Kline

Vertonen's album Stutterer is a fascinating exploration of soundscapes and experimental music. The artist behind Vertonen, Blake Edwards, has crafted an album that is both challenging and rewarding for the listener. The tracks on Stutterer are a complex blend of electronic and acoustic sounds, with layers of noise, feedback, and distortion building and receding throughout each piece.

One of the most striking things about Stutterer is its use of rhythm. The album's title track is a prime example, with its jittery, stuttering beat creating a sense of unease and tension. Other tracks, like "Roughneck" and "Fogbound," use more traditional rhythms to anchor their soundscapes, but even these pieces are constantly shifting and evolving.

Despite the experimental nature of the music, there is a sense of purpose and intention behind each track. The album's final track, "Dusk," is a haunting meditation on loss and memory, with its mournful drones creating a sense of melancholy that lingers long after the music has ended.

Summary by Justin Kline

Stutterer is an album that rewards careful listening and attention. Its complex soundscapes and experimental approach may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the journey, it is a rewarding and fascinating experience.
