“Scavengers” commences with a glimmering intrigue, the place a murky backing lushness is layered enjoyably with emergent shimmers. A nighttime-set entrancement is conveyed by way of the regular tonal disposition, devoid of rhythms or tonal shifts — and total navigating with a concurrently warming and comparatively eerie disposition, in its spacey pulsations. The ultimate 30 seconds sees a gradual fading-out of the ambient textures, culminating in a gently absorbing conclusion that wanes cohesively into the night time. “Scavengers” is a stirring ambient success from Eric Angelo Bessel.
