Perseverance Flow does everything its title promises. It perseveres, certainly, moving with a stubborn intent in a way that feels both mechanical and wholly organic: it’s a machine made of wood and leather and human effort. And it flows, in its own stuttering way with the certainty of water going downhill. Natural Information Society has long favored both repetition and length; this 37-minute single cut album simply takes those inclinations to their logical conclusion.
