Thomas Gray & Liam Ebbs : ‘‘Recollection of Everything Beautiful’ was written over the space of 18 months between 2019 and 2020. The protracted time frame for the creation of the record corresponded with a period of vast personal change for both Thomas and Liam. Contrary to their debut record, ‘3 Days, 2 Nights’, this work is less bound to place, rather being a reflection on the joy of transformation.’’ 

Part 1 of ‘To An End’ opens the project, fusing ethereal textures and modulating synth tones with a balearic tinged plucked melody and an amalgamation of euphoric strings and atmospherics. ‘Of Two’ follows next and sees the duo deliver intricately evolving off-kilter drums alongside elongated jazz-tinged bass notes and their signature cinematic soundscapes. Following is ‘.nov.’, which contrastingly switches the focus over to minimalistic 4/4 drums, snaking subs, wandering piano lines and resonant fills throughout. 

‘That Was You’ kicks off the flip, once again offering a more left of centre rhythmic approach via glitchy percussion and bumpy kicks while billowing synths and warm Rhodes ebb and flow throughout. ‘Variation II’ embraces a modern classical aesthetic with organic percussion, subtly blooming piano melodies and tension building pads next before Part 2 of ‘To An End’ closes the package, perfectly concluding the experience through evolving guitar melodies, blissful atmospheres, brass swells and a soft rhythmic flow.

Pardonnez-nous #10 w/ Sentiment de PLS - 16 Septembre 2020

Buy/Stream:

The Alameda EP finds the Junto Club expanding on the sound that has come to define the band, which is to say sparse electronics and percussive post punk underscoring David Wilson’s haunting suicide inspired vocals. On this EP the synths and drum machines take centre stage pulling their sound from the shadows and firmly onto the dancefloor, wasting no time with opening track Hercules’ 11 minute electro onslaught.

On the flip, enigmatic new producer Fall Forward follows on from remixes for Gabe Gurnsey and Groove Armada to deliver an overdriven, rave tinted remix of Hercules that breathlessly strobes through distorted Junos on a peaktime trip. For the final track longtime SC&P collaborator Curses leaves us with a punishing physical remix of Alone that is delves deep into the harder side of his techno tendencies and is sure to be assaulting the darkest of dancefloors once the clubs reopen.

Welcoming South London duo @fyichris to Black Acre with Black Dragon Loop EP! https://fanlink.to/BlackDragonLoop
A wigged out cut for the club and beyond, the psychedelic, post-punk tinged sounds of 'Black Dragon Loop' sees the duo deep dive further into their infinite sonic palette with a darker and more rugged multi-instrumental approach. Made out of the sample banks of a good friend, the track indicates a key factor in FYI Chris' music - their sense of community, the one which they are so wholly ingrained, and the influence of friends and family along the way. Sonically a reflection of the times but also a clear indication of a penchant for industrial and macabre sounds, this new single represents a sound fans will already know, largely due to West Friends label they co-run with friends from the Rye Wax basement - the imprint has delivered some of London's most outlandish dance-music in recent years, exemplifying their love for tongue-in-cheek gallows humour and an appetite for wonky club weirdness.
