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 […]

Ian William Craig – Short of Breath/Fresh Breath (Recital, EPs, 2014/2018)

Chris — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 17:25:39 +0000

“One hour was sunlit and the most high gods May not make boast of any better thing Than to have watched that hour as it passed” Those are the words of poet Ezra Pound from “Erat Hora”, also sung here in Short of Breath by Ian alongside intimate guitar. It is an ode to a moment, […]

Ian Hawgood – 光 (Eilean, 2018)

Chris — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 19:57:07 +0000

Photons are sometimes referred to as a “wavicle”, a wave-particle. At once they exist as physical particles, predictable in their path and trajectory, and yet also as a wave-function, a probability of occurrence across points in space. Ian Hawgood’s 光 means light, and like the wavicle of the photon this short little record takes two forms. The […]

Ian Hawgood & Danny Norbury – Faintly Recollected (Home Normal, 2018)

Chris — Sat, 20 Jan 2018 18:05:20 +0000

Memory is like a river course: a channel flowing down the slopes of life it burbles up from faint and unassuming beginnings, picking up speed and volume as it makes its way towards its final destination. It weaves and twists alongs its journey, reconfiguring and reworking itself as the environment changes and its supply alters […]

Federico Durand – La Nina Junco (12k, 2017)

Chris — Sun, 07 May 2017 13:40:48 +0000

6 years ago I would have found myself revising in the garden for some of my last school exams at this very table, perhaps beneath this same umbrella. 2 years before that, and I was revising for my GCSEs when I was 16. The scenery’s different now; the family home moved and now I sit […]

Olli Aarni – Puu tuulessa (Cotton Goods, 2015)

Chris — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 15:30:53 +0000

It’s been a few years now since I last listened to an album by Aarni, specifically the dreamy Otavaiset Otsakkaha under his Nuojova alias from way back when in HearFeel’s formative days in 2012; it’s nice to know that Puu tuulessa seems to follow in the same dusty vein of music as those melodies I loved from 3 years […]

Purl – Stillpoint (Silent Season, 2015)

Chris — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 15:35:39 +0000

If there’s one things that humans are above many things it’s sentimental. We love to be nostalgic, to try to remember places and people and moments and keep them in storage for ourselves, or give others a sense of the feelings we’ve experienced, but it’s hard to do. Impossible actually, at least in a complete […]

Arash Akbari – Vanishing Point (Flaming Pines, 2015)

Chris — Wed, 29 Apr 2015 14:50:58 +0000

Time wields a power over us all, there’s nothing any of us can do to stop it, change it, reverse it, it just marches forwards endlessly. And it’s turbulent too, unforgiving; across the course of our ever withering lives we suffer loss, loneliness, anxiety, increasingly relying on our past exploits as we age before we […]

Federico Durand – Música para Manuel (Hibernate Recordings, 2015)

Chris — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 17:40:10 +0000

“Music For Manuel” is Argentinian musician Federico Durand’s gift to the grandfather that raised him as a child. Originally released on cassette and comprised of only two tracks (I believe the first two tracks of the album) and now rereleased and expanded on Hibernate Recordings, Música para Manuel is just about every bit as quietly nostalgic […]
