Shuta Yasukochi – By The Sea (ROHS!, 2019)

Chris — Sat, 23 Feb 2019 15:49:12 +0000

It’s odd, I moved from one of the furthest places from the sea in the UK to virtually right on the coast and yet I very rarely actually go to visit the sea. I find the forests somewhat more rewarding, with their endlessly changing visage and less populated, endless branching pathways. There is an allure […]

Forest Management – Biqui (No Rent Records, 2018)

Chris — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:43:33 +0000

An ode to the love life of Erik Satie, Forest Management’s Biqui details the brief 6 month affair between Satie and his “Biqui”, Suzanne Valadon. In 7 pieces we’re provided a series of gentle, simple, haunting loops that do the Minimalist some justice, and paint a picture of his strange and enigmatic romantic life and heartbreak. Piano […]

Aries Mond – Come On Let’s Wait (Eilean Records, 2018)

Chris — Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:57:58 +0000

I didn’t believe it would snow here this week, certainly not to the degree it did. We’ve heard the doomsday predictions of meteorologists before, and the little local microclimate made it seem all the more unlikely, and yet it did. Prodigiously, briefly. Normal weekday life here just ground to a halt; first as we stopped […]

Brette Naucke – The Back of the Garden (Unifactor Tapes, 2018)

Chris — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 19:16:33 +0000

It’s been incredibly cold lately, but the threat of Spring is growing. The mornings have been bright and crisp, the Sun beginning to gain a little more ground in the sky with each passing day; if it wasn’t for the absence of heat and the continuing greyness of the plant world, I would have said […]

Federico Durand – La Nina Junco (12k, 2017)

Chris — Sun, 07 May 2017 13:40:48 +0000

6 years ago I would have found myself revising in the garden for some of my last school exams at this very table, perhaps beneath this same umbrella. 2 years before that, and I was revising for my GCSEs when I was 16. The scenery’s different now; the family home moved and now I sit […]

Forest Walker – UV Sea (Constellation Tatsu, 2017)

Chris — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 16:25:46 +0000

There exists a universe outside the realms of our perception or understanding; we actually live within it and go about our day-to-day lives without ever noticing its presence, but there are limits to our six senses: wavelengths of light we cannot see, frequencies of sound we cannot hear, things too small and faint to smell […]

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma – In Summer (Geographic North, 2016)

Chris — Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:08:32 +0000

Every Summer represents a short burst of memorable moments, of pent up anticipation and the need to unwind boiled away under a hot Sun somewhere away from home. In the brief time allotted to In Summer, Cantu-Ledesma distills the essence of our seasonal exploits in fleeting snapshots of characteristically luxurious Noise and Drone passages that immerse you in the […]

anthéne – permanence (Cathedral Transmissions, 2016)

Chris — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 17:15:01 +0000

Nothing is permanent, we all know this. We learn of entropy and erosion and death and we know that nothing lasts forever, not us, not anybody. But despite our unequivocal knowledge of transience we always choose to forget, we willingly ignore these painful facts of life while the going is good only to be endlessly reminded […]

Siavash Amini & Matt Finney – Familial Rot (Umor Rex, 2016)

Chris — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 17:03:30 +0000

Returning to Umor Rex Amini finds himself conjoining his music with poetry once again, this time leaving behind the already established works of T.S Eliot and rather building upon the fresher words of collaborator Matt Finney, whose spontaneous creations form the foundations of each piece. Filled with the same unsettling drones we’ve come to know and love, Familial […]

Theodore Schafer – Portrait (Bridgetown Records, 2016)

Chris — Sat, 16 Jul 2016 15:50:52 +0000

The etch of a jawline, the curve of a brow, the particularities of a swept head of hair: all things that come together to define a person’s face for us, all aspects of their facial physique that make them uniquely identifiable. Sitting at his piano at home and musing over its keys in extremely intimate […]
