Stijn Hüwels & Danny Clay – An Unintended Space (Eilean Records, 2017)

Chris — Sat, 13 May 2017 15:30:48 +0000

If there was a sound for sitting quietly, a record that brought to musical life the act of being still and thoughtful in places new and old, it would be An Unintended Space. This is a record of whispers, of careful drone builds and gentle notations drifting out in blissful minimalism and reductive candour. There’s introspection here […]

Wil Bolton – February Dawn (Eilean Records, 2016)

Chris — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 18:06:14 +0000

Given our temperate climate in the UK, most months of the year are peculiar in their weather and have the potential to be either glorious or horrendous, or both. February is no exception of course, and because of its promise of a nearing Spring it’s a month spent in anticipation of Life’s return and longer days […]

Richard Ginns – Until The Morning Comes (Eilean Records, 2015)

Chris — Wed, 02 Dec 2015 18:06:13 +0000

The album preview had me convinced that Richard Ginns’s latest LP Until The Morning Comes would be another strong effort by him, afterall the last record of his I covered (Fall,Rise) was a powerful and visceral listening experience, very transportative. But after spending some time with it I began to realise that Ginns had created an emptier and […]

Dag Rosenqvist – The Forest Diaries (Eilean Records, 2015)

Chris — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 19:35:38 +0000

It’s been a rough ride with Eilean for me and the last few records they’ve put out, as evidenced by my relatively unimpressed attitude with the recent Bamboo Stilts for example, but this latest album from Dag Rosenqvist, most popularly known for his work with Jasper TX, has seemingly broken this dry spell with a really […]

Bamboo Stilts – Beneath The Bark (Eilean Records, 2015)

Chris — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 15:37:39 +0000

Despite the pairing of Orla Wren and Leigh Toro on their first collaborative effort, Bamboo Stilts lives up to its namesake by leaving us rather high and dry on the emotional impact front. Whilst on some of my earlier listens I thought the new record Beneath The Bark was quite an interesting electroacoustic affair, subsequent explorations have […]

James Murray – Loss (Eilean Records, 2015)

Chris — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:36:37 +0000

Loss is one of life’s inevitabilities, something that we will all have to face up to at some point or another in our existence. It’s a hardship that comes crashing down, tearing us away from a loved one or perhaps a precious place and leaves us by the wayside attempting to fill the hole that’s […]

Vhr-1.7 – Lost Angle (Eilean Records, 2014)

Disappointing Ambient excursions in the cold and tight precision of Vhr-1.7's "Lost Angle"
