Saåad – Présence Absente (Hands In The Dark, 2018)

Chris — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 19:38:35 +0000

Love in the time of the World Wide Web. A billion voices all jostling for cyber space, humanity ostensibly closer to one another than ever before, so why is it that all we can feel is nothing for our fellow men and women? Absent Presence is an apt title indeed for Saåad’s 5th full length (not counting […]

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?

Fortunately, World Eater not only seems to share similar sentiments but […]

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 […]

Tim Hecker – Love Streams (4AD, 2016)

Chris — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 14:19:57 +0000

Before a fall there’s a brief moment of seeming anti-gravity, as though an object is defying the laws of physics and is suspended in the air whilst the platform beneath it disappears. For that fraction of a second they’re weightless and hovering, oblivious to the growing void beneath and the imminent descent into it. Hecker captures every moment of […]
