Tim Hecker – An Imaginary Country (Kranky, 2009)

Chris — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 18:57:50 +0000

I haven’t been sleeping well the last couple of weeks. First I thought it was the excitement of travel, then it was the random sprinkling of hot and muggy days: now I realise it’s because of, well, you know… I close my eyes and my mind wanders, unbidden, unfocused, wanting.

Marble Sky – Sway (Monorail Trespassing, 2009)

Jeff Witscher’s Marble Sky project was an unfortunately short lived affair; for just a few brief years in the late 2000’s we were granted only two records and an extremely limited collection of rare tapes following them. Indeed, No Matter How Close itself was a tour-only promotional and had a run of a painfully elite 30 cassettes […]

Albums of the Decade: Lusine – A Certain Distance (Ghostly International, 2009)

Chris — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 17:25:11 +0000

There’s always an album that we can point to and say “there, that was the moment”; at the turn of 2010, Lusine’s A Certain Distance found its way to me and changed how I consumed music thereafter. If it wasn’t for this record, I wouldn’t be writing this and HearFeel wouldn’t be here, so I owe a lot to […]
