Aries Mond – Come On Let’s Wait (Eilean Records, 2018)

Chris — Sat, 03 Mar 2018 15:57:58 +0000

I didn’t believe it would snow here this week, certainly not to the degree it did. We’ve heard the doomsday predictions of meteorologists before, and the little local microclimate made it seem all the more unlikely, and yet it did. Prodigiously, briefly. Normal weekday life here just ground to a halt; first as we stopped […]

Olli Aarni – Nielu (Florabelle, 2017)

Chris — Sat, 02 Dec 2017 15:55:37 +0000

The Solstice looms, one of the pair of symbolic days that cleaves the year in two, though one is significantly more welcome than the other. Winter approaches fast, and with it the turbulence of uncertainty in the weather’s fickle states, each day a potential battle anew between eerie, cold calm and punishing precipitation. Nielu is “vortex”, […]

Poemme – Blooming Spring EP (Stereoscenic, 2017)

Chris — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 17:52:51 +0000

Although we’re now well past Springtime and all its excitations, sometimes it’s nice to reflect on the year’s months and seasons past. Blooming Spring is presently, in that sense, an ode to the memory, the dream, of Spring, a coda of its passing as we hang sweatily in the clutches of Summer. Here we yearn for the […]

anthéne – orchid (Sound in Silence, 2017)

Chris — Mon, 01 May 2017 14:16:14 +0000

There’s a melancholia to Spring, anthéne would argue: whilst many seem to labour the point of its regenerative power and the much desired return to life that the season provides, there’s also loss. Loss at its conclusion, certainly, when the planet spins away and leans back from the Sun, cooling and killing in the process, […]

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 […]

Wil Bolton – February Dawn (Eilean Records, 2016)

Chris — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 18:06:14 +0000

Given our temperate climate in the UK, most months of the year are peculiar in their weather and have the potential to be either glorious or horrendous, or both. February is no exception of course, and because of its promise of a nearing Spring it’s a month spent in anticipation of Life’s return and longer days […]

Willamette – Diminished Composition (Scissor Tail Records, 2016)

Chris — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 15:53:09 +0000

The canal froze over today; I didn’t think it’d ever get cold enough this Winter for us to see it happen but it did, and now it’s reduced to nothing but a functionless expanse of ice, its surface paved with flowery fractal patterns, joints, bubbles and cracks all adding to its complexity as it sits […]

Arash Akbari – Cracked Echoes (Soft Recordings, 2014)

Chris — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:27:12 +0000

November is here and with it the first signs true signs that Winter is almost upon us; Autumn was brief enough, and while a few leaves still cling to the trees they’re not long for this world, and it’s time for us to begin embracing the coldest and harshest month of each year. Arash Akbari […]
