Giles Corey – Giles Corey (Enemies List, 2011)

Chris — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 20:29:12 +0000

I often have thoughts about going back and reviewing older content that I’ve enjoyed from years gone by, making sure that in my time writing here I capture all of those special and impactful records that I’ve fallen for. The most pivotal albums I think are more-or-less all here now, but there are still plenty […]

Daniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini – Illusion of Time (Phantasy, 2020)

Chris — Sat, 23 May 2020 17:07:18 +0000

I seem to end up talking about time a lot. Time, time, time. Part of this, it seems, is that as my friends and I get older, we find ourselves increasingly coming to terms with the fact that we’re moving (or have moved) beyond our youth. Adult life has its perks obviously, but as we […]

Billow Observatory – III: Chroma/Contour (Azure Vista Records, 2019)

Chris — Sat, 16 Feb 2019 19:13:15 +0000

Have you ever thought back and considered when the first time you enjoyed your first sunrise and sunset was? I’ve thought about this before, perhaps never vocalised it here, but it is fascinating to me that a memory like that seems lost to time. Instances come close, whether these were the first moments that I […]

Casino Versus Japan – Suicide By Sun (Self-released, 2018)

Chris — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 20:53:50 +0000

Suicide By Sun is not a statement on the heatwave we’ve been enduring for the last few weeks (at what point do heatwaves just become part of Summer?); rather, it’s a series of careful loops that embody our time spent beneath the Sun. Subtle distinctions are made on the time of year, through musical character and track […]

Hakobune – Betelgeuse (Hidden Vibes, 2018)

Chris — Sat, 27 Jan 2018 15:50:31 +0000

“The light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long”, although in Betelgeuse’s case far less than that even. One of the brightest stars in the sky, Betelgeuse is only a stellar baby: 10 million years old (give or take a few hundred thousand). Our own homely Sun probably has something like 5 billion […]

Duane Pitre – Feel Free (Important Records, 2012)

Chris — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 17:49:56 +0000

It’s difficult to talk about a record that sounds as organic, as free-spirited, and as easygoing as Duane Pitre’s effortlessly gorgeous 2012 LP Feel Free. Wrought largely from stringed instruments, recorded tones have been rearranged by computer synthesis into a seamless 40 minute record that moves gracefully from one chaptered sequence into the next. Harp, hammered dulcimer, […]

Jason Van Wyk – Opacity (Home Normal, 2017)

Chris — Sun, 24 Sep 2017 14:30:15 +0000

Last week I watched on as Cassini, one of our few eyes in the Outer Solar System, plunged to a fiery demise over the skies of Saturn, concluding its 20 year mission. Like any funeral, it was a bittersweet moment: she had provided so much data and so many beautiful pictures of the enigmatic and […]

Ian William Craig – Slow Vessels EP (130701, 2017)

Chris — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 20:22:49 +0000

Something I’ve often said, though I suspect mostly outside of HearFeel, is that one of my overwhelming feelings in Ian William Craig’s music is that of romance. It’s not a sentiment I’ve seen, well, anywhere else actually, and I felt a little bit validated in my thoughts after listening to his latest EP Slow Vessels, […]

Albums of the Decade: Manual – Until Tomorrow (Morr Music, 2001)

Chris — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 18:00:20 +0000

The debut record of Jonas Munk is one for the young, a brief snapshot of youthful energy and angst arced over 45 minutes of scuzzy, lo-fi, yet brilliantly earnest Indietronica. Unlike many of his later, more refined records that would sun themselves in languid Ambient and Downtempo with nary a care in the world, this […]

Padang Food Tigers & Sigbjørn Apeland – Bumblin’ Creed (Northern Spy Records, 2016)

Chris — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:00:54 +0000

We’ve officially entered Autumn now, the bittersweet month. Summer’s over and the grey, lifeless harshness of Winter will soon be upon us, but the world loves to leave us with a last flush before it crumbles. Golden light and leaves will soon grace the crisp air and our pining for warmth will begin; it’s here […]
