Old Punch Card is unlike Sam Prekop’s other solo work or that of his band, the Sea and Cake. Old Punch Card is an album that takes its cue from the musique concrète found in electronic music. The album features synths, no vocals, no beats and one guitar. As a result, this album is one that may initially — and subsequently — shock its listeners. But if one sticks around and meditates on the unusual sounds, a certain logic and inner peace will surface. “November September” sounds like a film noir that takes place as the viewer changes channels. “A Places” rumbles with ominous tones swooping in and out of earshot. “Lazy House” finds melodies in what sound like glass bottles. “The Silhouettes” adds extra colors to its frantic, yet still somehow tranquil, pace. The bonus cut, “In Calendar” is reminiscent of the minimalist works of Steve Reich. “Notebooks” veers towards found sounds. Anyone searching for linear melodies or traditional song structures will be sorely disappointed. Anyone up for an adventure into a bizarre new world will find the soundtrack right here.
