SineRider – Perennial (Sound in Silence, 2024)

Chris — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 13:53:09 +0000

Do you believe in the idea of soulmates? It’s a thought that’s crossed my mind many times in the past, with my tendency to (over)intellectualise romance. Because, what if it’s true and I’ve already met my person, let them slip through my fingers? Or is it worse that no such person exists, either for me […]

How To Disappear Completely & EUS – Remaining Light EP (Contradicta, 2024)

Chris — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 16:09:31 +0000

I have a set of tarot cards. I can’t remember when I bought them exactly, a couple of years ago at this point, and I don’t use them very often, but people are quite surprised that I own a deck. In some ways, I’m surprised myself that I own them, but I have a strange […]

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 […]

Ben Frost – Scope Neglect (Mute, 2024)

Chris — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 15:44:29 +0000

In the world of cognitive biases, there’s a phenomenon where we under appreciate the difference between values of growing magnitude, especially with lots of something. For example, the perception of the difference between 1 million and 1 billion: we struggle to grasp the enormity, the scope, of large numbers of things. 100,000, ok-ish, a stadium […]

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 […]

Heinali – Kyiv Eternal (Injazero Records, 2023)

Chris — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 15:33:05 +0000

Sometimes, when I come back to my home city of Birmingham, I wonder how it will feel now, in what way it will be different to my previous knowing. In many ways the mood, or as the Zoomers would say the “vibe” of the city has changed little since my youth, though every new visit […]

Mary Lattimore – Goodbye, Hotel Arkada (Ghostly, 2023)

Chris — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 20:37:48 +0000

As we move through the female ambient musician golden age, which I think it’s fair to say is slowly elapsing around us as more women find themselves in increasing prominence, a particular kind of artist seems to arrive at my doorstep more regularly than others. Perhaps that’s an aesthetic or taste driven thing on my […]

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 […]

Evian Christ – Revanchist (Warp, 2023)

Chris — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 18:05:50 +0000

Friend 1: “Why do you like this stuff [electronic dance music], it’s so repetitive, doesn’t it get boring?” Friend 2: “I like it because it’s repetitive” This is a paraphrased conversation that was recounted back to me not so long ago in a conversation [friend 2] had with a mutual friend of ours on generally listening to […]

Hannah Diamond – Perfect Picture (PC Music, 2023)

Chris — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 18:42:59 +0000

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, […]
