36 – Trance Anthems For A Sunken Generation (3six Recordings, 2024)

Chris — Wed, 22 May 2024 19:08:57 +0000

I have a morbid fascination with Twitter (X, whatever). It is a despair hole, a nihilist’s dream-space where the most miserable people on the web come to make other people more miserable elsewhere. I appreciate it for its daily memery, and general insanity since the Musk takeover, but it is not a good place. In […]

Tim Hecker – No Highs (Kranky, 2023)

Chris — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 17:15:31 +0000

I look around regularly at the moment and wonder to myself: what the hell is happening to this country? The potholes in my city resemble roads in some war-torn republic, not an ostensibly first world nation; our national health service is in rolling crisis; workers are striking in virtually ever sector; food and energy prices […]

Oneohtrix Point Never – Magic Oneohtrix Point Never (Warp, 2020)

Chris — Sun, 08 Nov 2020 11:44:48 +0000

Something I’ve talked about at great length in the past is nostalgia, it’s such a powerful force and point of obsession running across and through music. Perhaps it’s a generational thing, perhaps it’s simply a rose-tinted goggles perspective that is a universal human constant; either way these retrospective views of the world have a frequently […]

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 […]

Clarence Clarity – Dead Screen Scrolls (2020)

Chris — Sun, 03 May 2020 12:31:47 +0000

Five weeks into our lockdown and it’s hard to differentiate one day from the next. Dates have become meaningless, the entire month of April has passed with little fanfare, and whilst I have come to accept the reality of our situation, a strangeness still pervades the waking hours. At times I feel restless, at war […]

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 […]

Torn Hawk – Union & Return (Mexican Summer, 2016)

Chris — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 15:12:07 +0000

Torn Hawk continues to go from strength to strength with every record, slowly climbing out of the mire of fringe Vaporwave irony and into the light of increasingly crisp and resonant productions. Whilst previous showing Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time was very much a step into the direction that Union & Return finds itself in, it […]

Trampique – Opscope (Dark Clover, 2015)

Chris — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 18:56:47 +0000

With its suitably mysterious name, Opscope seems to be the perfect candidate as the vessel for a collection of Solar System themed electronic pieces in Alexandr Frolov’s third release under the Trampique alias. I loved the first two albums under this new moniker (both making it into my Top25 from last year) so there was certainly a sense of […]

Jonas Munk – Absorb/Fabric/Cascade (El Paraiso, 2015)

Chris — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:17:28 +0000

I’ve stopped coming to have expectations going in to any Jonas Munk record; every album under his beloved Manual alias is a different and quixotic affair, ranging from the heady heights of Shoegazing Dream Pop to soft fluffy expanses of Drone, whilst collaborating with artists like Ulrich Schnauss and others has allowed him to traverse […]

Torn Hawk – Let’s Cry And Do Pushups At The Same Time (Mexican Summer, 2014)

Chris — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 16:41:39 +0000

Torn Hawk’s Luke Wyatt appears to have outdone himself once again in his second full length of the year; his previous effort Through Force of Will was one I admired for its unrelenting scale and rather unusual presentation, carving out vast tracts of destroyed synth and crooning guitar lines to support its freedom fighting and anarchic tendencies, […]
