"At this point I have a request for our fans.  If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us -- leave us the fuck alone!  Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."

Protect The Dolls!

Isn’t it fascinating how thoughts that are more melancholic tend to linger? Things we don’t want to let go of will ultimately stay to haunt us. Maybe we need to re-live them in our heads and hearts? 
It gives me peace and closure to use these parts from the past - to realize that they were supposed to wait for this moment.

The Avenue (excerpt)

“With my aversion to this cat, however, its partiality for myself seemed to increase.”

The Crimes of the Black Cat

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spaces-between-words

In a world where every word carries weight, UK based electronic producer Simon Vince (HERE) invites listeners into a sonorous exploration of the unnoticed silences and spaces. With his latest ambient album and second release on Shimmering Moods ; Spaces Between Words. HERE crafts eight beautifully fragile and melancholic electronica tracks that delve into the delicate nuances of love and loss. 
Each piece is a hauntingly wistful soundscape, woven from electro-acoustic ambience and drones to shimmering synths, delicate textures, and gentle pulses that evoke the bittersweet essence of separation. 

From the emotive echoing tones in “Spaces Between Words” to the nostalgic reverberations and drawn out chords of “I Find You In Whispers" this album invites you to embrace the unspoken and the unshared, allowing you to linger in the quiet spaces that define our connections.

Superglider

After decades of chasing, accumulating, and then sharing new music with you, I think I've hit some saturation point. I think I'm done spinning in the vortex of the "new", being pulled in all directions, catching up on all the "fresh" and "innovative" tracks. I'm not saying that I will stop covering new music. No. But I think I'll focus the virtual lens of my listening on a very narrow point, investing my time and attention over more extended periods. I think I will turn inwards... towards music and the artists that genuinely make me feel. This is the case with Rafael Anton Irisarri's A Fragile Geography, an album from 2015, which captured my attention then as it does now, triggering memories, triggering thoughts, and emotion. A decade ago, during a move between coasts, Rafael lost his possessions - stolen with the moving truck - along with all his audio archives, forcing him to rebuild his studio and sound from the ground up. The pain of this loss is reflected in almost every single track on the album. This music is slightly dark and melancholic. It's visceral, and it gets under your skin. And there it stays with you for ages. Becoming part of you, becoming part of your existence.

On September 19th, the album will be reissued, beautifully remastered by Stephan Mathieu at his Schwebung studio, along with a limited edition cassette of remixes by the most renowned artists, handpicked by Rafael. "This record has always been about letting go of one life and rebuilding another", says Irisarri, "It feels fitting to return to it now - ten years later, in a different country, a different world." These reworks are worthy of your precious awareness as well. I know that there are more than a few in the pipeline (at least six), which will be revealed one at a time. As of this writing, there is already a gorgeous rework by the one and only William Basinski, with his version of "Secretly Wishing For Rain" with Gary Thomas Wright, which incorporates field recordings of Reseda rain and birds captured by Basinski himself. You can check out a digital stream of that track here. *BUT!* Today, I am premiering for you a second rework by Abul Mogard! This piece bears not only the original elements of "Persistence" but, of course, Guido's extremely personal touch that breathes new life into this sound.

Head over to headphonecommute.com to read more about this release, including a quote from Abul Mogard on the rework.

From The Mouth Of The Sun -  Into The Well

Exclusive track from ambient experimentalist Specimens' debut album 'Sculptures'...

‘Sculptures’ is Alex Ives (AKA Specimens) most ambitious and daring project to date, following on from releases on underground imprint A Giant Fern, Amsterdam-based Shimmering Moods Records & the collaborative Specimens x Daniel Wiesmayr release, ‘Water & Concrete’ on London’s Tenderly Surrender - the title track of which soundtracked a short from film maker & director, Sophie Littman, premiered via Nowness.

Wearing his influences on his sleeve and with a nod to past and present noise pioneers such as Throbbing Gristle, Leyland Kirby, K.Leimer and Ben Frost, ‘Sculptures’ sonically pans between the dream-like fog heard on the track’s ethereal closer, ‘French Morning’, as well as, ‘Cerulean Forest’, and cold industrial textures prevalent on tracks such as ‘A Marble Hallway’ or ‘Thuvian’.

The lighter, more melodic passages perfectly hold together the record’s jagged, abrasive undertones, occasionally leaning towards a more classical feel in a way the likes of William Basinski and Sean McCann display with regular expertise - best illustrated on the tracks ‘Piano Loops’ and ‘VI.VI.MMXV’.

Ives, who also holds a monthly residency on London’s Radar Radio, said of this release “I didn’t want to make a record intentionally difficult to listen to, but I wanted uncomfortable moments. It was important for me to try and make the record sound as human as possible and in some places distinctly live"

This ‘human’ feel discussed by Specimens is partly achieved through utilising samples of Sudanese wrestling & Tuvan Throat Singing, adding a charm that prevents the record from ever feeling too slick.

'Sculptures' was mastered by iconic sound artist and Room 40 label boss, Lawrence English – a man who also was a key influence in the sonic palette harnessed by Specimens.

“I've been a huge fan of his for a while now, he was probably my first introduction into the ambient/drone world. I wanted to have it mastered by someone I know not only specialises in this music, but someone artistically I looked up to.”

Over the past 18 months Specimens has been collaborating and releasing singles and EPs at a pace that hints at an artist never fully satisfied with sitting on a project. It’s through this process the ambitious producer has not only broadened his creative sphere, but honed in on a sound that is unmistakably his own. The result is a record distinctly individual and unapologetically enjoyable to engage with.

‘Sculptures’ will be available on 13th January via First Terrace Records.
