2) Yes! Come Parade With Us
"I remember leaning right off the slipway in Sheringham to record the waves that I used in this track. I had to get really close to the surface of the water to be able to hear the pebbles moving around. It was early in the morning and the sound was so alive that It made me want to make some very positive and uplifting music."

-----------------------

On the auspicious occasion of the release of his mystical seventh artist album, technological force-of-nature Leafcutter John teams up with fellow stalwarts of idiosyncratic electronica Border Community to gift unto the world the small-yet-perfectly-formed joyously utopian artefact Yes! Come Parade With Us. Weaving field recordings from the Norfolk coastline together with layers of lyrical modular synth, these seven bright-eyed folk anthems sing with positivity and a sense of place, and feel right at home amongst the British label’s unparalleled ever-pastoral and often-organic electronic legacy.

During the summer of 2017 exiled Yorkshireman Leafcutter John returned to his one-time home of Norfolk (having graduated in Painting from Norwich’s School of Art and Design back in 1998) and set out on foot along the sixty mile section of Norfolk Coast Path which runs from Hunstanton to Overstrand, trusty audio recording device in his pocket. “And very soon the physical act of walking began to make me think about music,” he explains. “My footsteps dictated the tempo and imagined melodies accompanied me as I slowly moved along the increasingly wild and magical stretch of coastline. Stresses of the city were replaced by the fall and rise of the North Sea and endless salt flats. Sounds from the environment filtered in and I would stop often to record what I was hearing around me.”

Back home in London, the hours of amassed field recordings would form the backbone and inspiration for a whole album worth of outpourings from John’s six-years-in-the-making modular synth. From the evocative sound of sea birds on Pillar and Stepper Motor to the colourful conversation from a country pub in This Way Out, the apposite selection of samples which made the final edit provide the perfect jumping-off point for John’s synths to soar with abandon, at times uplifting, frenetic, haunting, hypnotic or meditative, but always atmospheric and with unstoppable propulsion.

“Above all else, I wanted the album to exude a sense of constant forward motion but at a very human scale,” says John. Thus drummer friends Tom Skinner (Hello Skinny) and Sebastian Rochford (long-time collaborator in the twice Mercury Prize-nominated band Polar Bear) were roped in to lend their suitably clattering human momentum, on Doing The Beeston Bump and Dunes respectively. Working in tempos to match his walking speed throughout - “whether trudging along a rainy shingle beach or running up wildflowering clifftop paths” - Yes! Come Parade With Us is perfect traveling music, and once unleashed upon the world is sure to provide the soundtrack to plenty more journeys to come. 

Beginning his own musical journey back in 1999 on Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu Records and with a widely-varied twenty year career in electronic music already under his belt, the release of his masterful seventh album sees Leafcutter John on career-defining form. An intensely personal project, John has also hand-drawn the labyrinthine album art and animated his own suitably exuberant rainbow-hued video to accompany the boundless enthusiasm of restorative title track Yes! Come Parade With Us. The resultant album gem is both assuredly successful in his stated aim of capturing “both the rugged beauty of the environment and the positivity I felt walking through it” and incredibly infectious, with a harmonious utopian outlook which cannot help but rub off on the listener.

Maps And Diagrams - Azurescens [album preview]

Artist: Bath Consolidated
Album: Narryer Gneiss Terrane
Format: Cassette / Digital
Release: April 12, 2019

Music by Noelle Johnson
Visual art by Galen Tipton/Seth Graham

A millennial is someone caught in between the past and the future.
This perspective naturally has a desire to be recognized. There is a fear in this generation of being lost or effaced from the canon of mythology, for example, legacy fomo.
This album is copying and pasting my peers into Dante's Inferno or the bible and seeing what happens.
This sits in the background on the theme for Narryer Gneiss Terrane. The main thrust is studying the aesthetics, flow, and syntax of a mythology attempting to form a millennial mythos. I thought often in imagery rather than words. For the track medulla, I pictured a boltzmann brain appearing at the big bang with the personality of a millennial, the great filter climbing the walls of the biblical bottomless pit.

Anasisana - Easily Broken, taken from 'Promises Are Meant to be Broken'

Exploring the thick mist of depression, obscuring the clarity of the sky from the mind's eye, Anasisana revisits his final period in Berlin before departing. A decision which weighed heavy, transmitted to deep piano tones and gritty textures. The tracks on 'Promises Are Meant To Be Broken' are best understood when listened in one run, where time stretches, its perception becomes one stooping mass, its end indefinable from its beginning. 

A1. All the Light We Cannot See
A2. Forbidden Attraction
A3. Beauty From the Pain

B1. Crying Blood, Bleeding Tears
B2. Easily Broken
B3. A Life to Regret

Dedicated to the last months I've spent in Berlin

Recorded in December, 2018

Today's premiere comes to you from Brooklyn's Alien D. The latest release from Lillerne Tapes, Sunday Painting, is a mind-bending journey through pillowy synth textures and kaleidoscopic rhythms. Alien D (aka Stress aka Mr. Aloe) brings a playful approach across the EP. One that is protean in nature from track-to-track, yet shares a common feeling of psychedelic repose.

Our premiere track today off Sunday Painting, "Compassion Track", begins with a contemplative ambient intro that elicits fractalized imagery and gives way to swooshing downtempo grooves. Swirls of color drip down the canvas and begin to pool towards the bottom like a bubbling caldera. The brush strokes begin freeform, and as the piece continues to take shape, become more angular and defined as percussive wisps pitter-patter in the distance. Alien D creates an empathic listening experience that leaves one with a feeling of connectedness to the world around them. It is a track that suits introspective meditative explorations as much as material heartfelt connection to one's fellow being.

Sunday Painting is out today on Lillerne Tapes and available via cassette and digital download. Also check out Daniel's label Sweat Equity for music that showcases the bleeding-edge of  NYC electronic music.

B1 - Robert Hampson: Retour à la chaleur

Etched Traumas is more than happy to release the latest work of Nicholas Fair. Fair comes from Coprus Christi, TX and he is a prolific and talented experimental artist. He's been writing and recording short
instrumentals for thirteen years along with other numerous filmscore or solo projects, and bands. With more than 40 releases under various monikers in cassette, CD, DVD and even VHS formats his work is still versatile and unexpected.

The 'How To Get Lost In Your Bedroom' EP comprises of three instrumental tracks with electric guitar in a lo-fi aesthetic. Partly deliberately and partly due to the nature of recording media (cassette) and due to its age, a certain warmth of noise is being added to the final result. Despite the release title, one could close his/her eyes and envision the great American plains in a dry period, as depicted in the films of Peter Bogdanovich. Solitary and introspective; this is great music!
