Stars of the Lid – The Ballasted Orchestra (Kranky, 1997)

Chris — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 20:42:30 +0000

A piece of trivia about me, for those who have never seen me in person, is that I have a tattoo on my arm of the cover of SotL’s The Ballasted Orchestra. It was my second (tat-two) actually, inked back in 2019 and probably the one that gets the most questions in general conversation. For obvious reasons […]

Rafael Anton Irisarri – FAÇADISMS (Black Knoll Editions, 2024)

Chris — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 18:58:15 +0000

Recently I was told that that I hold myself back, suppress myself “rather than living a bit more freely or giving a chance for new things”. This wasn’t meant in a cruel way, but as an observation of my character and not putting myself out there, and it’s true. I’m a cautious and anxious person, […]

Merely, Malibu – Essential Mixtape (YEAR0001, 2024)

Chris — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 21:18:22 +0000

I’ve spoken about it before but I often feel I have a compulsion to travel. I’m not sure it can be called wanderlust exactly, at least not all the time, sometimes it’s just a desire to escape. A trajectory away from the normalcy and rhythm of regular life for a moment, a period in […]

Iglooghost – Tidal Memory Exo (LuckyMe, 2024)

Chris — Sat, 19 Oct 2024 16:17:54 +0000

The walk to and from work is a short one but the various pavements in the neighbourhood make it more tiresome than it needs to be, and are more reminiscent of patchwork quilts than pathways at times. Even after years of living here you have to be a mildly attentive walker, divided and sub-divided such […]

Clarence Clarity – VANISHING ACT II: ULTIMATE REALITY (Deluxe Pain, 2024)

Chris — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 10:48:42 +0000

What year is this? 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 […]

Ben Frost – A U R O R A (Mute, 2014)

Chris — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 21:13:31 +0000

It’s been ten years since Ben Frost’s third record, A U R O R A, released: ten years of, several times a year, ending up getting half-cut (if not drunk) and listening to this extremely loud. It’s what God (Ben) intended, I feel. And to answer the question pre-emptively: yes, I currently am. I did cover […]

Bvdub – Heartless (n5MD, 2017)

Chris — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 20:13:29 +0000

I’m finding it hard to write lately. Summer has historically been a slower period for HearFeel, and as the years go by my time seems to become thinner and less available for both writing and listening and it only compounds the infrequency of my posts. And although I’m cognisant of these shifts and flows within […]

Gigi Masin & Rod Modell – Red Hair Girl at Lighthouse Beach (“13”, 2023)

Chris — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 19:31:16 +0000

Recently I’ve found myself reflecting back on my hobbies, largely because I’ve been spending time with new people who are curious about how long I’ve been active in things like photography and music, and have been recounting these sections of my life to them as part of this fabric of knowing. And it’s quite scary […]

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 […]
