Fennesz – Black Sea (Touch, 2008)

Chris — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 16:49:03 +0000

There are only a handful of records that I really associate with highly specific memories: Black Sea is one of them. I found myself going through Christian Fennesz’s back catalogue again somewhat recently and was struck by the power of one particularly distinct, though perhaps somewhat boring, association with this album especially. It would have been 2011, […]

Fennesz – Agora (Touch, 2019)

Chris — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 16:00:00 +0000

To stay at home is to feel safe, avoiding having to confront the endless barrage of social interactions and the anxieties of navigating this modern, labyrinthine world. Like most fears, it’s been named, been labelled: agoraphobia. Sufferers will know the feeling of stress it induces all too well, of the ways in which they work […]

The Top 20 Albums of 2016

Chris — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 20:41:09 +0000

I had thought to write something about 2016 here, as I often do in these end of year lists, but what is there to say? Personally, societally, what a mess of a year it’s been; it feels like I’d rather not sit here and dwell too much on the past 12 months but at least […]

Albums of the Decade: Fennesz – Venice (Touch Records, 2004)

Chris — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 15:55:09 +0000

Venice is far from the easiest Fennesz record to talk about, not least that in the 12 years that have passed since its release it has proved to be a strangely prescient record. Whilst the deep blue idealism of its cover art and early sentimentality create a picturesque vision of beauty in place, there’s a seed of […]

Christian Fennesz & Jim O’Rourke – It’s Hard For Me To Say I’m Sorry (Editions Mego, 2016)

Chris — Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:05:40 +0000

Qualia are internalised thoughts, feelings and sensations that can’t be adequately described or defined to other people: colours for example, or particularly difficult emotional sentiments. The so-called explanatory gap in human language leaves us beached in these instances, unable to assign any combination of words to explain these deeply personal experiences. Perhaps it’s this reason that […]

Braeyden Jae – fog mirror (Whited Sepulchre Records, 2016)

Chris — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 15:40:14 +0000

Have you ever thought about your peripheral vision, about what you can see at the edges of your perception where sight fades away into a mysterious grey vignette, and what lies beyond? In the guitar bendings of Jae’s newest production, summoning the spirits of other luxurious electroacoustic champions like Belong and Fennesz, we find ourselves […]

HearFeel’s third year is coming to a close, and it’s always nice to be able to round up the preceding year before it’s birthday with a culmination of the best albums heard across its span, to take some time to display my favourite records and give people an insight into my personal rankings. As always […]
