Leimer, that neglected minimalist soundscaper (and now fellow e/i scribe), is back with another smartly-packaged record, and it’s a dandy, the sort of disc that begs the question as to why he isn’t one of the Nobel Laureates of ambient already. Statistical Truth inverts the fundamental role models of the last 25 years (Eno, and with Fripp, plus Hassell, Debussey, and Satie) and in so doing, recalibrates them to destigmafy the modern drone while repelling the new age. It’s a tight balance, but Leimer and his one-man arsenal of electronics pulls it off with the delicate touch of a glass-blower and sharp eye of a diamond jeweler. Yes, these preening, stately drones are practically opulent, as if radiating bright light from within that’s reflected back and then back again, the currents set into motion by brusque synthetic tradewinds. Truth be told, this is music that positively aches.

It becomes apparent early on that Statistical Truth, the latest album from mysterious minimalist synthesist K. Leimer, isn’t merely another 67 minutes of mindless ambient soundscapes. “Unusable Spectrum” and “Anterior” deploy worldly electronic percussion, for example, while the mournful sounds of “Requiem Fields” sing just as effectively as any female vocalist could. Even “Divided Light” resonates, with a coda of squeaky atonal whistles that recall a young child just discovering the sounds, and Statistical Truth’s centerpiece, the 11-minute title track, signals its importance with a series of early crescendos that give way to a repeated series of electronic blips. It is performances such as these that make Statistical Truth such a joy to hear and occasionally elevates Leimer to the level of Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and Klaus Schulze. The album’s alternate dark and light textures, heaviness and airiness, and overall warm and cold passages make Statistical Truth a compelling and memorable listening experience in a genre often associated with faceless, aimless background sounds.
