"Jonathan Jindra returns to Retronym yet again, this time under his well-established Trills pseudonym. Blue Metabolic Sunrise displays shimmering beauty from start to finish. The first few tracks are trademark Trills, patient melodies crafted around deep kicks and echoing snares with a wall of beauteous twinkles and dischords with percussion that flickers between downtempo and chunky 808's. Everything gradually melts into spiraling arpeggios and analogue machinery is forced to squeeze out it's most stunning of sounds - conjuring up the kind of imagery that would fit perfectly as an alternative soundtrack to something like Tarkovsky's Stalker. The closing track Flect is the ultimate swan song, a ten-minute long epic which condenses the massive array of shades and styles that Jindra has in his audio locker. Blue Metabolic Sunrise is also available as an amazingly put-together digipak direct from Jonathan himself. We at Retronym believe this is one of the most stunning packages we've seen in a very long time with artwork by the super-talented Joe Bastardo, who deserves extra special credit for this and previous works for Retronym releases. You can check out his portfolio at Future Forest Design."

2/21/11 - 'Modular Puzzle' - Sitting Now review
http://sittingnow.co.uk/2011/02/19/trills-%E2%80%93-modular-puzzle-iabsentee/
"I was introduced to Trills on the recent Section 27 release "PH 14", a split between him and some other guy who's name escapes me. I was, therefore, quite happy to receive "Modular Puzzle" to further my research. If you took Boards of Canada, Autechre and Aphex Twin and blended them in a large test tube, shipped them to America and injected them into a host stem cell and raised that stem cell as an electronic musician, you may end up with something like Trills. His influences are obvious (to me at least) but not in a crude way. This is a man who has been listening to the right stuff, while far enough away from the scene to fashion his own take on things. It is also an album of contrasts, one moment he is all futuristic ("Paragon" which is kind of like EP5 era Autechre but with straighter beats) and then on the next track ("Erawitt") he's on a kind of 80's sci-fi movie thing...like an alternative soundtrack to "Running Man". Then he's all experimental and industrial on "Zurich", before dropping in a retro sample and going all glitchy acid hip-hop on "Binarium"). Some people might struggle to move between styles like this but I can safely say that the ball is never dropped on this album. He maintains his own identity, while throwing his influences at a blank canvas and carefully squishing them around, to form something new and old, experimental but enjoyable and challenging but friendly. http://www.i-absentee.com/IA029.html"

Free Digital Download
Recession Records
"Mind Transplant begins in a dark room with a ghostlike doctor wearing a surgical mask making incisions on the listeners scalp using alien telematics and motorized machinery. Once the transplantation is complete, immediately the dimensional change takes effect. You feel like you are underwater and become increasingly aware of the scale of objects, and someone left the barnacle television on Telemundo. Traveling through this portal you encounter various polymorphous compartments of historical time, liquid creatures forming shapes in the air with a particular sense of humor, forgotten childhood memories, peculiar motifs, archetypes, physically puzzling rooms, and eventually ascend into a rubedo permutation."

[S27-049] Dissolved / Trills - 'PH14' Split
Free Digital Download
Section 27 Netlabel
Track-by-track artwork from each artist
"Incredibly atmospheric split release from Glasgow's "Dissolved" and Texan producer Trills. Spanning many sounds over 14 tracks, Dissolved's half comprises ethereal soundscapes, driving industrial rhythms and cavernous melodies. Trills brings psychedelic waves washing over industrial noise and discordant melodic tones on the remaining half of the album. "PH:14" creates abstract imagery in the listeners' mind through its well crafted pieces."

03/15/10 - Textura.org 'Modular Puzzle' Review:
"The furthest thing from wallpaper music, Modular Puzzle is more than a little audacious. Each track offers one surprise or another, and every one feels like a plunge down one rabbit hole or another."
