In Andrew Ryce's review of 2017's US Drag, he said that the artist best known as Bruno Pronsato (real name Steven Ford) had begun to take a "lateral move away from the dance floor." Instrumental in shaping and defining the minimal and microhouse sound of the early '00s, Ford spent two decades perfecting an airy and organic approach to understated dance music. But lately, Ford has continued moving laterally, embracing jazz, modern classical and avant-garde electronics (as he did on US Drag) while also returning to his roots, mining post-punk and indie on projects like Archangel (he is after all, a former speed metal drummer). Spread across two discs, Do It At Your Funeral brings together these influences, reevaluating the experimental possibilities of minimal. The result is a record that holds some of his most beautiful, strangest tracks to date.
