Jesus Fucking Christ There’s a temptation to look back at our hominid ancestors and think of them as primitive savages, that our forebears struggled through their lives dragging their knuckles on the ground, grunting at one another and wearing a few strips of fur and leather. Of course, we are far more […]

Hannah Diamond – Perfect Picture (PC Music, 2023) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2023/11/11/hannah-diamond-perfect-picture/ Sat, 11 Nov 2023 18:42:59 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=3915 Once upon a time the internet used to be a much smaller and stranger place. Ok, it’s still strange but in a lot of different ways now: back in the “olden times” the general userbase was nerdier and weirder, the humour off-kilter and constrained by the limitations of resolution and bandwidth. Now access is ubiquitous, […]

Hannah Diamond – Reflections (PC Music, 2019) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2023/07/13/hannah-diamond-reflections/ Thu, 13 Jul 2023 20:14:11 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=3851 Over the last 11.5 years of HearFeel I’ve probably been fairly candid about most of my experiences: quite some time ago I realised that that one of the things I wanted to bring to my writing was a candid presentation of myself in an otherwise frequently inauthentic internet. Aside from anything else it gives readers […]

Oneohtrix Point Never – Magic Oneohtrix Point Never (Warp, 2020) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2020/11/08/magic-oneohtrix-point-never/ Sun, 08 Nov 2020 11:44:48 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=3421 Something I’ve talked about at great length in the past is nostalgia, it’s such a powerful force and point of obsession running across and through music. Perhaps it’s a generational thing, perhaps it’s simply a rose-tinted goggles perspective that is a universal human constant; either way these retrospective views of the world have a frequently […]

Albums of the Decade: Clarence Clarity – NO NOW (Bella Union, 2015) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2019/12/12/album-of-the-decade-2015/ Thu, 12 Dec 2019 20:43:16 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=3197 What does it mean to make a statement? We kind of do it all the time: the choice of clothes we wear, the jewellery we pick out, the certain way we have our hair cut or styled, all of these things exude a statement of self. As an example I started wearing floral shirts to […]

How To Dress Well – Love Remains (Lefse, 2010) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2019/07/02/how-to-dress-well-love-remains/ Tue, 02 Jul 2019 21:21:57 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=3138 It continues to fascinate me that works you explored years ago but didn’t enjoy or appreciate at the time can be returned to considerably later with an entirely new outlook. I’ve often wondered how many records there are from years gone by that I snubbed at the time, but now may come back to with […]

Jefre-Cantu Ledesma – On The Echoing Green (Mexican Summer, 2017) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2017/06/24/jefre-cantu-ledesma-echoing-green-mexican-summer-2017/ Sat, 24 Jun 2017 15:48:16 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=2645 To listen to Cantu-Ledesma records of yesteryear, you would perhaps be surprised to hear the direction he has moved into recently; known early for thick, dense and noisy productions (with such titles as Shining Skull Breath and Speaking Corpse), he has relatively quickly evolved into Shoegaze and Hypnagogic Pop as of late. The result? Records that carve […]

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – In Summer (Geographic North, 2016) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2016/08/29/jefre-cantu-ledesma-summer/ Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:08:32 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=2404 Every Summer represents a short burst of memorable moments, of pent up anticipation and the need to unwind boiled away under a hot Sun somewhere away from home. In the brief time allotted to In Summer, Cantu-Ledesma distills the essence of our seasonal exploits in fleeting snapshots of characteristically luxurious Noise and Drone passages that immerse you in the […]

Torn Hawk – Union & Return (Mexican Summer, 2016) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2016/06/03/torn-hawk-union-return/ Fri, 03 Jun 2016 15:12:07 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=2350 Torn Hawk continues to go from strength to strength with every record, slowly climbing out of the mire of fringe Vaporwave irony and into the light of increasingly crisp and resonant productions. Whilst previous showing Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time was very much a step into the direction that Union & Return finds itself in, it […]

Animal Collective – Painting With (Domino, 2016) https://hearfeel.co.uk/2016/02/21/animal-collective-painting-with/ Sun, 21 Feb 2016 15:30:50 +0000 https://hearfeel.co.uk/?p=2240 It’s not easy to approach the tenth LP of a band with such a storied career, not least since it’s one of the most lambasted records they’ve had in some time, a criticality which I think is being overplayed by most. Over the years Animal Collective have surprised and enchanted so many with their records, each […]
