Air Cushion Finish is the name of an ambient/folk duo, collaboration of Jayrope and Lippstueck who released their latest album “Bleifuss” on Biesentales Records.
Jayrope’s hypnotic beats and Lippstueck’s soft, reassuring voice are sampled and layered, adding random instruments (last time a small flute and some kitchen utensils were spotted) building polyrhythms that create familiar, irremediably tribal and soothing sounds infused with humour.
