EUS – Vergel (BLWBCK, 2024)

Chris — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 21:56:51 +0000

I’ve been working with my current employer for just over 7 years, and two weeks today will mark the 7 year anniversary of moving into my current house, sort of properly solidifying my cross-country translocation here. I’ve often felt that there’s something in that number, seven: I know it has a long history in the […]

Hannah Diamond – Reflections (PC Music, 2019)

Chris — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 20:14:11 +0000

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 […]

10 Years, 10 Albums: Anniversary Special

Chris — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 19:15:29 +0000

Whilst the official 10-year anniversary of HearFeel falls on the 1st February 2022 (a decade on from the first “official” post), this December is the tenth end-of year. Around this time, as many of us are wont to do, I normally piece together some kind of annual retrospective that looks back at some of my […]

Andrew Lang – Momentary Senses (Rusted Tone, 2020)

Chris — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 18:56:00 +0000

I’ve started having strange and vivid dreams again after a reprieve over the Christmas period. The blame of course lies with work and lockdown restrictions, manifesting I assume through the anxieties of circumstance and creative drought of the home-prison. Whilst they’ve been quite potent, I forget almost all of them come the afternoon, but sometimes […]

10 Albums From 2020

Chris — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 18:37:18 +0000

Well well well, here we are again. 2020 marks the ninth end of year list for HearFeel as we come to the end of its 8th year. And what a year it’s been. Every time I sit down to do these look backs, it always strikes me how much seems to unfold over the course […]

Joshua Van Tassel – Dance Music Volume II: More Songs For Slow Motion (2020)

Chris — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 16:34:27 +0000

I was in Scotland a few weeks ago, tucked away in some quiet corner of the Cairngorms, away from the world, away from the pandemic, away from everything. I needed it desperately, the opportunity to fuck off out of the house and put distance between me and work and people and the constant restlessness, to […]

Giles Corey – Giles Corey (Enemies List, 2011)

Chris — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 20:29:12 +0000

I often have thoughts about going back and reviewing older content that I’ve enjoyed from years gone by, making sure that in my time writing here I capture all of those special and impactful records that I’ve fallen for. The most pivotal albums I think are more-or-less all here now, but there are still plenty […]

Federico Durand – Flor Imaginaria (2020)

Chris — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 19:20:09 +0000

There’s an inescapable rhythm to the familiar. When I make the journey back from my family home, a two hour or so drive on a Sunday evening every month or two, nothing about the course of the trip changes. The motorways and A-roads follow the same route, the roundabouts and junctions remain constant, my car […]

Daniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini – Illusion of Time (Phantasy, 2020)

Chris — Sat, 23 May 2020 17:07:18 +0000

I seem to end up talking about time a lot. Time, time, time. Part of this, it seems, is that as my friends and I get older, we find ourselves increasingly coming to terms with the fact that we’re moving (or have moved) beyond our youth. Adult life has its perks obviously, but as we […]

Test Card – Music For The Towers (Sound In Silence, 2020)

Chris — Wed, 04 Mar 2020 21:15:17 +0000

Oh it’s been Winter for a long time, or at least it feels like it has. The seemingly endless wind and rain and grey skies: the suppression of mood has really become palpable in recent weeks. One of my friends said recently she couldn’t wait for Summer and being able to sit out in […]
