Tim Hecker's fourth full-length under his own name isn't so much a new direction as a refinement. The differences between 2002's Haunt Me Haunt Me, Do It Again, 2003's Radio Amor, and 2004's Mirages are apparent but incremental. On each of these records, Hecker plays with pink-into-white noise, tinkling synths that float between the speakers, the occasional over-the-airwaves voice, and knotty samples of guitar with the Earth-drone pedal pushed to the jet-black metal.But while Hecker continues to revisit some of the same sonic elements, he also seems to be listening closely to what works and playing with structure. So his latest record, Harmony in Ultraviolet, has none of the docile synth instrumentals he borrowed from Brian Eno on his debut, nor the ultimately distracting disembodied radio chatter from the follow-up. Rather, he's taken what's left and focused, zoomed in, amplified, and stretched.
