"Imagine if the Caretaker were more into RZA than early jazz, spinning detuned and damaged stabs of harp and piano into loops that stumble atop crumbling percussion. The new Black Taffy LP by Dallas’ Donovan Jones, a former member of heavy post-rock act This Will Destroy You, is that image, shivering into life. The enchanting instrumentals of Elder Mantis (even the title seems ripped from the Wu-Tang manual, right?) rise up like mirages from smoothly spreading bass lines, slowly skidding claps and snares, and dusty scraps of harp and koto. The overall effect is like Liquid Swords stripped of GZA and reworked as a meditation exercise. That’s one way of hearing it, of course: You could also say it’s like J Dilla and Boards of Canada blending into a sinister Bibio, or a boom-bap Harold Budd"
