They might sound like some grisly new-age outfit, but SOC is a Barry Adamson project and thus cooler than an Inuit’s ice box. On their debut LP, the nine-piece ensemble build awesomely understated soundscapes both serene and unsettling, using piano, turntables, Theremin, laptop, strings, brass and woodwind. Guest vocalists Eugene Robinson of Oxbow, Jim Thirlwell, Girls Against Boys’ Scott McCloud and Adamson himself help up the evocative ante.
