about

Quietly released in 2010 as a benefit album for the Minnesota Wildlife Science Center, Boreal Network's 'Phase With the Moon' EP quickly gained a reputation as one of the finest (and most under-the-radar) pieces of post-BOC electronica to emerge outside of the UK. In Nicole Johnson's hands, the requisite detuned synths and densely textured hiphop beats of the genre serve as scaffolding for a series of melodies so infectious and light on their feet that they seem to skip like stones across the water.
Themed around the figure of the gray wolf, an animal both admired and reviled by human beings, PWTM casts an affectionate and warmly curious eye on its canine subjects over the course of its seven sun drenched tracks. By turns joyous, loving, and concerned, the album is beguiling in its affection for the animal world and deeply addictive to the human ear.

'Boreal Network, aka Nicole Johnson, seemed to have sprung fully formed out of nowhere, already making music with an assured, cinematic synth aesthetic over pared down, crunchy beat loops. Rather than relying on the format-failure dirt and scuzz of pure glitch, she infuses her music with the more human, earthbound detail of lived memory.' - THE WIRE
