Meridian

Taken from PERILS - S/T (Pathway010)
PERILS is Benoît Pioulard and Kyle Bobby Dunn.

Mutual admirers of each other’s work, Thomas Meluch (Benoît Pioulard) and Kyle Dunn (Kyle Bobby Dunn) endeavored to put together a collaborative recording that ruminates on painful realities, disappointments, and transitioning to new homes, in the hopes of finding a coping mechanism to bring them through to the other side.
PERILS began auspiciously in 2012 at transitional points in these artists’ lives. Kyle was living in a small town called
Belleville, Ontario trying to complete Kyle Bobby Dunn and The Infinite Sadness (Students of Decay) and coming to grips
with the fact that this great endeavor was at its end. Given the enormity of the record and the emotionally and physically
exhausting process of recording the album, Kyle found himself drained with unforeseen questions and confusions. Working only at night, Kyle immersed himself into this newfound nocturnal work, finding a path in the midst of wondering. Thomas, meanwhile, was in a state of literal transition: uprooting from the UK and relocating to Seattle during the recording process of PERILS. In a state of flux, nearly drowning under the anxieties of living on uncertain ground, Thomas channeled these emotions into musical escapades. Thomas recorded in his spare moments, sending sonic puzzle pieces one by one to Kyle, who would in turn explore the musical sentiments Thomas had shared, adding his own billowing sounds to the seething mix.
The ten pieces created for this release are culled from a poutine- and whisky-fueled trudge through the dark corridors of an as-yet undiscovered or possibly imaginary mystic temple. Commencing with the shimmering guitar and tape loops of “Colours Hide My Face,” the album crawls out of the grooves with a slow-churning turmoil, coaxing the listener to embark along its path. The dirge-like guitar clang and vocals of “(Dead in the) Creekbed Blues” could be an 18th century blues standard emitted from a buried radio. On PERILS, Thomas Meluch and Kyle Bobby Dunn lock arms and together chart the upheaval in their lives to bridge the liminal gulf between the once-was and the soon-to-be.

Thomas William Hill - Laniakea

Not Home may seem an unusual choice of single from Anne Garner’s upcoming album Lost Play but there’s precious little that is conventional about this singer-songwriter. Fans of her strange, seductive melancholy will be beguiled once again by the song’s signature union of disembodied sadness and reassuring intimacy. Warm waves of electric guitar and synthesiser cradle glitchy, restless percussives, the soaring silvered pedal steel of Jack Hayter (Hefner, Dollboy) and a lyrical message both beautiful and hard to hear.

Not Home and Porya Hatami's remix are available across all major platforms and in lossless 24bit audio exclusively from Slowcraft Records.

Standing On The Precipice Of Tears

The Seaman And The Tattered Sail - Standing On The Precipice Of Tears

This year is already shaping up to be full of amazing music, as many of my favourite labels seem to be saving up all of their best for their “end of the year” celebration. And why shouldn’t we celebrate? We’re entering a whole brand new decade! And now, I am extremely excited to announce [drum roll, please!] a brand new album by the one and only Bersarin Quartett!!! I am most thrilled about this new release from Thomas Bücker mostly because his first three numerically titled albums are still on my heavy rotation, and because, having previewed “Methoden Und Maschinen” before it drops for you on November 29th, I can say with conviction that you’ll simply love it! I don’t even need to use big splendid words [actually, I have much to say about the beautiful album itself, but you’ll have to await my full coverage], so hear for yourself in this exclusive premiere!

"The Bersarin Quartett continues to stand for the outing of a complex musical subconscious. […] Minimalism and bombast go together. Constantly developing and entangling contrasts, paradoxes and contradictions are the motor. Constantly caught between two sides."

Yes, I’m aware, that this single short piece is a teaser for a more rounded gorgeous collection of tracks which you’ll have to await (why not pre-order?) for a couple of more weeks. The album is also available on a splendid turquoise coloured vinyl, as well as on a 12″ and of course, digital and CD, directly from Denovali store. I also recommend that you revisit Bersarin Quartett’s past three albums: Bersarin Quartett (2008), II (2012), and III (2015), as well as read In the studio with Bersarin Quartett. All covered on headphonecommute.com That is all for now, I’ll be back with more on Methoden und Maschinen later!!!

Methoden und Maschinen

TRACK PREMIERE : Bersarin Quartett - Wie von selbst

"It's heartening to discover that music of such uncommon beauty is still being created in a world so fraught with hopelessness and despair."
Ron Schepper, textura

"Her music has a special charm to it. It’s magic. Her lyrics are a form of poetry... it’s a heady potion that will leave you dazed."
James Catchpole, Fluid Radio

"This is shamelessly romantic music, and also unmistakably English
in nature... as reassuring as a new-found love."
Peter Van Cooten, Ambientblog

"Go and buy Anne's music everyone!"
Guy Garvey, Elbow

Anne Garner's lyrical work is inspired by curiosity and a sense of wonder, a hunger to explore and explain the emotional inner life. The magic lies in the ambiguity, in the unanswered question and the breath between notes. It's in poetry and harmony that Anne finds her safe space, in enveloping and beguiling moods, a place from which to speak the unspoken.
