Title: A Fossil Begins To Bray

In her most personally narrative work to date, A Fossil Begins To Bray is the follow up on Dais Records for NYC producer Hiro Kone, furthering the dialogue set forth on her 2018 release, Pure Expenditure. While the statements on Pure Expenditure rallied behind a point of dangerous excess and injustice, the material on A Fossil Begins To Bray embark upon a journey of discovery and self-analysis, proposing a potential reorientation towards absence in hopes of illuminating potential futures. In Mao's own words, "This album considers the power of absence as neither a lack or deficit, but as a quiet, indeterminable force to cultivate in this time of looming and unrelenting techno-fascism. It asks that we take pause to consider our learned languages and actualities and to better consider how desire shapes our recollections and interpretations of this 'existence.'" This allegory is expertly applied to every song on A Fossil Begins To Bray. Mao has established a long history of employing absence in her productions to maximum effect. With a vast assortment of diverse elements at play, no single track ever feels overly convoluted and further illustrates Hiro Kone's skillful attention to dynamic tension and flow. Tracks such as "Fabrication of Silence" and "Submerged Dragon" perfectly represent the power of absence, utilized in a matter to create unique amalgams of decisive, cinematic techno rhythms from the electronic void. As the melodic elements contained within A Fossil Begins To Bray begin to unravel and slowly take form, the unaware are rewarded with a driving yet tangible refrain that offers resolve in contrast to the dense, texture-laden backdrop that forms the album's foundation. The first single, "Feed My Ancestors", expands upon Hiro Kone's signature take on electronic music structures. Seemingly free from the predictable contracts imposed by any one genre's stereotypes, Hiro Kone throttles the foreboding bassline in favor of more calculated, abstract cut-ups that gracefully hold the track in place between hopeful utopia and something more ominous. The production and detail found throughout the album shows Hiro Kone's neverending development and dedication to principle. 'A Fossil Begins To Bray' is a challenge to dust off the forgotten modes of existence, expel the accepted paradigms within modern subculture and utilize the absence left behind. Mixed and mastered by noted electronic producer Kris Lapke (Alberich) featuring artwork and packaging design by acclaimed visual artist Tauba Auerbach.

Great toy for dispensing dinner!
Color: Purple, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
This is one of my puppy's favorite toys! We always try to use toys to dispense his meals, but many of them become too easy for him. Kongs take no time at all to empty. This one seems to provide much more of a challenge, mostly due to the three different sizes of compartments and openings. He'll empty the largest compartment fairly quickly, but the small one almost always has a piece or two of kibble that he just can't get out. This helps to keep him interested in the toy throughout the day. We use a large breed dog food with larger sized kibble which helps to add to the challenge. The fact that this bounces erratically and doesn't roll smoothly makes it difficult for my dog to develop a method for emptying it quickly. With some other toys, like the Kong Wobbler, he quickly learns to just push it around with his nose. This toy makes him work much harder! The construction of this toy is very sturdy. We usually feed one meal a day in this, and it's held up well to heavy chewing. I (and my roommates) appreciate that it's made of softer plastic which doesn't make as much noise on the hardwood floors as some of his other toys. The prongs on the openings can be cut to adjust the difficulty, which is nice if you're using different sized kibble or treats. It is a little harder to fill than other toys, but still not terribly difficult. Overall I've had a great experience with all the PetSafe toys I've tried, and this one is one of the very best!

Great chew toys!
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Keenan LOVES this toy! He will play with it all day. Running around the house, chasing as it bounces in different directions. And he'll be so content chewing on it for long periods of time. It makes an annoying sound when he chews, but I can live with it if it's keeping him entertained. This is the second purple rubber toy from this brand that I've purchased, the other being the squirrel one, which was his favorite until I purchased this for Christmas. They are super durable, his squirrel is still going strong. Even without putting food/treats inside, these are great toys for dogs that enjoy the softer rubber type chew toys. My only con is that it's a little big for him. He weighs 70lbs and I got the medium. It's fine but he has a hard time carrying it because of its size/shape, and he can't catch it when I toss it to him. Think I'm gonna buy the small size to see if it's any better.

Durable, interesting, but not my dog's favorite.
Color: Purple, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
This is a pretty cool treat dispensing toy; the rubber it's made from is very thick and durable, and the irregular shape of it makes it more interesting for the dog. The opening of each compartment has little strips inside that makes the toy dispense treats pretty randomly. You can also snip them so they're shorter, to dispense treats easier. I snipped all of them in my toy, because my dog was having a hard time getting treats out, and I adjusted them several times to where now it's almost too easy to get the treats out. I just couldn't find a happy medium, and of course once you've cut them, you can't uncut them. The only real down side to this toy is that it collects dog fur and can get pretty gross pretty fast. Most of my dog's other toys stay relatively clean when she's using them, but between the material and the pattern and whatnot on the outside, this toy is just a gunk magnet. Fur collects in the little dips between "barnacles" and clings to the slots on the outside of the toy. My dog doesn't really mind, obviously, but I think it's a little gross. ;D My dog for whatever reason favors most of her other toys over this one; even when this is the only toy that still has treats left in it, she'll often ignore it. It's a very high quality toy, though.
