Tim Hecker – Konoyo (Kranky, 2018)

Chris — Sun, 30 Sep 2018 15:09:59 +0000

The universe strains towards entropy, a state of low energy disorder. Complex structures are anathema to it, and there will come a time, trillions of years from now when the last vestige of order in space disappears and the distance between subatomic particles will be thousands of light years. The fact that you are alive […]

Aaron Martin – A Room Now Empty (Preserved Sound, 2018)

Chris — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 20:09:05 +0000

It’s been virtually two years to the day since my granddad died. If I close my eyes I can still see the living room, late night, gentle lamp light, palliative care bed up in the corner facing the french doors. That was the last time I saw him, body just clinging on. My grandma still […]

Federico Durand – Jardín de invierno (SPEKK, 2016)

Chris — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 16:38:23 +0000

Durand’s “Winter Garden”, though recorded in the past, is set in a world just a few months away from now; Autumn is here in full force but it won’t be long before we return to the season that is spelled out with such longing here. Unlike the dreamy reminiscences of A Través Del Espejo found earlier this year, Jardín de […]

Albums of the Decade: William Basinski – The Disintegration Loops (2062 Records, 2002)

Chris — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 15:46:01 +0000

Over the years this record has become increasingly more difficult for me to come to terms with and talk about; it’s the polar opposite of virtually every record I’ve ever listened to in that regard, but when you consider that the whole thematic approach and significance of the Loops revolves around life and death and entropy, […]

Siavash Amini – Subsiding (Futuresequence, 2015)

Chris — Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:30:34 +0000

Siavash Amini’s latest effort on Futuresequence is, in many ways, not too dissimilar from the work that he’s produced in the past that we know and love; it’s underpinned by idiosyncratic synth drone elements and migrates through effortless segues from thought to thought, but what I think is notable about Subsiding is that it feels less contextually […]

Ian William Craig – Cradle For The Wanting (Recital, 2015)

Chris — Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:26:01 +0000

The human body is an incredible machine, Craig seems to want to explain to us in his latest effort Cradle For The Wanting, a walking bag of bones and flesh, differentiated organs and tissues controlled by a governing brain that directs us and motivates us to eat and drink and sleep, to sustain ourselves and find some […]

Abul Mogard – The Sky Had Vanished (Ecstatic, 2015)

Chris — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 16:46:39 +0000

Abul Mogard is a mysterious man, supposedly a retired factory-worker from Serbia who has since turned to create expansive and poetic drone pieces in the last few years, and little is known about him. It is something of a fanciful tale, and since his appearances are otherwise scarce it’s difficult to say whether this backstory is true or […]

Hakobune – love knows where (Constellation Tatsu, 2015)

Chris — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 16:46:09 +0000

It’s pretty difficult to talk and review Drone music in the same sense as “normal”, melodic music; I suppose in many ways Ambient is rather the same and quite troublesome to talk about in a conventional manner, but Hakobune’s serene and luxurious guitar drones in love knows where are really an excellent example of how it is […]
