	Brainwashed - FilFla, "Frame"
		FilFla is the one-man project of Tokyo-based musician Keiichi Sugimoto (who also records as Fourcolor.) His latest effort, Frame, occasionally combines the microtonal melodies and whipping, looping guitar plucks with punchy programmed beats that help these otherwise amorphous compositions grow into something more defined and structured.
		FilFla takes a minimalist approach to building (and indeed titling) his songs, and the result is a record that never says or does more than it needs to in order to gain its affect.
		Along with the Fenton record, this new disc from FilFla is a welcome bit of calm in a year that has otherwise been soaked in industrial-strength dread.
