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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
