James Clements (https://soundcloud.com/asc) debuts his first full-length album under his Comit alias, titled Remote Viewing.

Born out of his love for music that was often classed as ‘IDM’ during the mid-to-late 90’s, and labels such as Morr Music, City Centre Offices, Merck and Hobby Industries, Comit is a new avenue for James that builds upon his background in drum & bass, his ambient projects for the likes of Silent Season and his admiration for a more nostalgic electronic sound.

It was this appreciation for early IDM that became the impetus for James' infamous Deep Space mix series in the early 2000’s and resulted in a brief output of inspired productions as both ASC and Intex Systems. But this sound never fully evolved until it became a devoted project. The first outing for the Comit alias came as a limited 7” on the Short Trips label in 2016 and is now finally presented in its realized form within Remote Viewing.

Broken, glitchy breakbeats weave amongst emotive and often melodic chord progressions, all stemming from James’ expansive collection of analog synthesizers. It’s a sound that feels distinct and very separate to James' music as ASC, whilst adding a new evolution to the genre we may have previously described as IDM.

Remote Viewing is available as a Transparent Orange Gatefold 2LP and digital download. Featuring artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding and mastered by City Centre Offices vet, Andreas [LUPO] Lubich @ Calyx Mastering, Berlin.

Released: 12th August 2019

VIILL - Decay III

Luke Abbott has today announced his first solo record in six years Translate will be released on 20 November via Border Community. Along with the announcement he has shared 'Kagen Sound', the album's richly-textured opener - menacingly driving but punctuated with endearing flourishes, it's an assured and impossible to ignore return.

Speaking of the track Abbott says: "Kagen Sound is one of the simpler tracks on the record, it's based around the Korg Monopoly, which is one of my favourite sounding synths. The track is named after an American puzzle box maker, he makes the most incredibly intricate wooden puzzle boxes. I've been interested in puzzle boxes since I saw Hellraiser when I was about 11 years old, maybe I shouldn't have seen that film so young. To me the track feels like a a huge opening in the earth, like a cosmic doorway, which is why it's the opening track on the album."

In the time since his last solo record, Luke Abbott has had to re-forge his
relationship with making music alone. His solo work has always been deeply
entwined with his sense of self and during a tumultuous time in his personal life that needed to be re-evaluated, and so did the music along with it. The result is Translate, a record that sees Abbott with a renewed sense of purpose. Written, recorded and produced by Abbott - Translate is a strikingly direct body of work that retains a great depth and fullness. At times dark and ominous, others bright and welcoming, this is Abbott’s sound fully realised and never so sure of itself.

Abbott’s solo artist recording career may have recently taken something of a back seat, but his explorative six year sabbatical has clearly been put to good use, with plenty of mix and remix work, a new more dancefloor-directed alias Earlham Mystics and a productive new sideline in film, with two solo soundtracks to his name to date: fellow Norfolk native Guy Myhill’s The Goob (winner of Best Music at the 2014 Stockholm Film Festival and eventually released as 2015’s Music For A Flat Landscape album) and Jessica Hynes’ The Fight (released under the title Music From The Edge of an Island in 2019). But most pivotal of all was the 2016 formation of the experimental jazz trio Szun Waves together with Jack Wylie of Portico Quartet (saxophone) and Laurence Pike of PVT (drums), with two Abbott produced
and mixed fully-improvised albums to show for it so far (and number
three in the pipeline), and jazz and electronic critics united in their acclaim. (“The result is that rarest of things: an improvised album that sounds so perfect, you’d think it was all planned,” said The Line Of Best Fit of 2018’s New Hymn to Freedom.)

LUKE ABBOTT SHARES NEW TRACK 'AMES WINDOW'

NEW ALBUM TRANSLATE OUT 20 NOVEMBER VIA BORDER COMMUNITY

"This is memorable music for exceptional times"
4/5 Mojo 'Electronic Album of the Month'

"Meditative, vital and expertly crafted"
8/10 Loud and Quiet

"A big, satisfyingly holistic record modelled with great finesse"
8/10 Uncut

Luke Abbott's has today shared 'Ames Window', a new track from his first solo record in six years Translate, which will be released on 20 November via Border Community. Remaining just within Luke's control, the track tumbles and whirls with a playful freedom, showcasing a different side to the record from the rich and purposeful 'Kagen Sound' or the steely-eyed focus of 'Earthship''s intergalactic journey.

Speaking of the track, Abbott says:
"'Ames Window' is an indulgent improvised modular synth track. It reminded me of the Ames window optical illusion because it has this spinning, disorientating quality. I like music that is very freeform, and this track is like a wild and amorphous cloud that’s constantly turning itself inside out."

In the time since his last solo record, Luke Abbott has had to re-forge his relationship with making music alone. His solo work has always been deeply entwined with his sense of self and during a tumultuous time in his personal life that needed to be reevaluated, and so did the music along with it.

Recorded at James Holden's Sacred Walls studio complex at various intervals
throughout summer 2019, the result is Translate, a record that sees Abbott with a renewed sense of purpose. Written, recorded and produced by Abbott (with Holden on board as "engineer and spiritual guide") - Translate is a strikingly direct body of work that retains a great depth and fullness. At times dark and ominous, others bright and welcoming, this is Abbott’s sound fully realised and never so sure of itself.
