Ramo Teder's approach to music is as complex and eclectic as the selection of his drawings that grace Tsaca Tsap. This makes sense, as Teder's otherworldly musical compositions often accompany his art exhibitions.

Created from a palette of warm, often acoustic sounds, Tsaca Tsap deserves a second look from those of you who were disappointed by the last Mice Parade album, or have always wished that Astrud Gilberto was a member of Tortoise. Delicate, evolving structures are dismantled and reassembled; impressively, they explore a plethora of textures and glitchy beats and remain accessible. The melodies that aren't filtered through the IDM Machine, like the piano-driven "Lih", are pretty enough to stop a conversation, but like Aphex Twin's simpler pieces, they rarely pass the minute mark. Apparently 60 seconds is the longest these guys can go without twisting a knob.

"Vurr"'s Múm-sy bells and organic loops are at once bashful and carefree, drifting through near empty space and picking up whatever hints of melody they happen to pass along the way. The vocals that join the fray toward the end are wholly joyous, while allowing the track to remain ensconced in quiet comfort.

Tsaca Tsap improves as it progresses. By the time the fantastical, complex "Girikad" and the gentle "Kodie" have come and gone, you'll feel safe wrapped in Ramo's soft, vibrant lullabies. Only the almost danceable "Vitkoori Kupong" will take you by surprise -- it's the only track that relies on groove-heavy loops to attract the listener. It's neither an outstanding track, nor a particularly suitable choice for inclusion on this otherwise subtle album.

Closer "Tallinn Negativis" also forgoes the glitchy loops, but in favor of an even more organic feel. It's a shy, exploratory piece that's basically equivalent to cooling down after an already relaxed work out. It's mildly interesting, but makes for a rather unmemorable close to an otherwise worthwhile album.
