Albums of the Decade: Clarence Clarity – NO NOW (Bella Union, 2015)

Chris — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 20:43:16 +0000

What does it mean to make a statement? We kind of do it all the time: the choice of clothes we wear, the jewellery we pick out, the certain way we have our hair cut or styled, all of these things exude a statement of self. As an example I started wearing floral shirts to […]

Siavash Amini – FORAS (Hallow Ground, 2018)

Chris — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 18:29:56 +0000

I asked my girlfriend recently “have you ever thought about how it is that you can’t turn off your eyes or ears?”. She was bemused: the notion of disconnecting one’s senses seemed like a ridiculously alien concept. “Why would I ever think that?” she replied, “It’s not possible so why would I waste time considering it?”. […]

Siavash Amini & Matt Finney – Gospel (Opal Tapes, 2018)

Chris — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 19:18:24 +0000

“I never pray. Why should one pray? What do you do? Supplicate? Haggle? Haggle with God?” Those are the words of Kathleen Jamie from one of her essay poems in Findings. I find myself thinking of it periodically, the effortlessness in which she summarises my own thoughts towards the unfairness of faith, the strange need to submit one’s […]

Ben Frost – The Centre Cannot Hold (Mute, 2017)

Chris — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 14:57:50 +0000

I like to sit on the fence, play Devil’s Advocate, be ambivalent: is there not, afterall, some merit to both sides of almost any discussion? I have opinions of course, will find myself leaning towards one cause or another, but I always leave room for doubt, for flexibility. In today’s world this attitude seems almost […]

Blanck Mass – World Eater (Sacred Bones, 2017)

Chris — Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:28:22 +0000

I have come to dread reading the news; in fact I often feel like I actively avoid it, since every day seems to present such a dim view of the state of current affairs that I cannot bear to be reminded by the incompetence of people. Fortunately, World Eater not only seems to share similar sentiments but […]

Steve Hauschildt – Strands (Kranky, 2016)

Chris — Sat, 12 Nov 2016 17:09:49 +0000

Rivers carry the most precious resource on Earth: water. Without their sinuous redistribution system that carries water back to the open oceans, the continents would be barren and lifeless places. We owe them a lot, our towns and cities built atop and around them for sustenance and transport. In recent years though, the waterways that […]

Albums of the Decade: Murcof – Cosmos (Leaf, 2007)

Chris — Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:50:50 +0000

The exploration of space within Ambient has a storied history that in many ways predates the genre itself thanks to Progressive Electronic and Krautrock experiments through the 70s, but it was only in the later developments of Dark Ambient that space was really given its brooding, fear-laden and menacing side. Yet for all the crushing […]
