Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri – Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close (Black Knoll, 2024)

Chris — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 19:39:45 +0000

I woke up this morning suddenly at about 4am, one of those disorientating rousings that I get on the odd occasion from a light sleep with vivid dreams, but it took me a good 10-15 seconds to remember where I was. Across the haze of my mind, groggily awake, trying to unwrap the dream from […]

The Lonely Bell – The Absent Years (Oscarson, 2024)

Chris — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 15:39:58 +0000

CoViD was this hole in the world that life fell into, swallowing growth, swallowing time, swallowing love. I remember saying to one of my friends that it felt like I’d lost two years of my life: who I was, who I wanted to become, things I wanted to do, all became things frozen in a […]

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – Love Is A Stream (Type, 2010)

Chris — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 21:01:48 +0000

As I get older, and perhaps also aided by the fact that I live some distance away from my family and birth-city, and travel fairly regularly with work and otherwise, I end up thinking about “home” a lot. The notion of it, what it means conceptually. I’m a flexible and independent person, I could live […]

Sawako – bitter sweet (12k, 2008)

Chris — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 21:18:03 +0000

Last November I found myself on the last day of a work trip with some hours to kill before our evening flight home. I hadn’t had an opportunity to get into the sea that week because we’d just been too busy so we headed down to the beach first thing before we had to check […]

Kali Malone – Living Torch (Portraits GRM, 2022)

Chris — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 20:38:55 +0000

People are often quick to cite the difference between being alone, and loneliness. One is simply a situation, a status of sorts: the other is a condition, a feeling. As they always like to say, it’s perfectly possible to be surrounded by people and feel lonely, as though isolated from the rest somehow, or conversely […]

The Lonely Bell – Ghost Town Burning (2023)

Chris — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:26:07 +0000

I’ve talked quite often about city or urban life, the artificiality of it. There’s something distinctly disharmonious and incongruent with nature about these spaces humans have designed for the sole purpose of housing humans; probably because until relatively recently they’ve often been created with little thought as to how to make them feel like nature is […]

Olli Aarni – Loput (Laaps, 2022)

Chris — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 20:56:41 +0000

There’s this moment, in the first of Aarni’s two track Loput, “Aallokossa”, where the tidal drones and oscillating tones that form the listless atmospherics give way. For a brief, shining time there’s a feeling of dissolution, the melancholic vibrations melting away like sandcastles facing a relentless sea, all aquamarine and insistent. It paves the way for a […]

Fennesz – Black Sea (Touch, 2008)

Chris — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 16:49:03 +0000

There are only a handful of records that I really associate with highly specific memories: Black Sea is one of them. I found myself going through Christian Fennesz’s back catalogue again somewhat recently and was struck by the power of one particularly distinct, though perhaps somewhat boring, association with this album especially. It would have been 2011, […]

Celer – Time? This. (2020)

Chris — Sat, 13 Feb 2021 10:56:46 +0000

I have a piece of volcanic glass on my desk, a circa sixty million year old relic I claimed from the detritus surrounding the now-unearthed subterranean intrusion it originated from. A flat black, shiny, pyramidal inch of glossy rock, tipped at its de facto top with a capstone of andesitic porphyry, a grey-green peak of […]

Abul Mogard – In Immobile Air (Ecstatic, 2021)

Chris — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 16:38:13 +0000

There’s a few common ways to visualise the passage of time, the most popular perhaps being one of a string or thread, a 1-dimensional continuum constantly unravelling and despooling itself with no perceivable end. This may be the neatest way when talking about time in a general sense, but for beings dictated by the […]
