For Scrying the Landscape VII, Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack find orgasmic pleasure in the concept of Ecosexuality, a term originated by sex worker advocates, performance artists and environmental activists, Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens. Against colonial capitalism's violent subjugation of nature, Ecosexuals instead treat the Earth "as a lover." Encompassing marriage ceremonies with mountains, crafting sex toys out of organic matter and climaxing under waterfalls, they centre desire and fetishism in order to protect ecological systems. The horniest iteration of Scrying the Landscape yet includes 'Morning Star-Red Glare- Sequoia Bridge,’ from Elysia Crampton Chuquimia’s ORCORARA 2010, an album narrativized through a romantic entanglement with a sentient plume of smoke, dedicated both to the prison inmates fighting wildfires ravaging California and the indigenous practice of prescribed burns. With great thanks to @fourchambers, a creative pornography project by @vextape, for the soundtrack from the film ‘Human Botany’ and the audio tour of the 'Ecosexual Bathhouse' exhibition by art-collective Pony Express.

I had an absolutely stunning weekend last week getting back to the garden at Fairport Convention's Cropredy festival with my lockdown housemates, Millie and Will - two years overdue. It was full of revelation and tears and some of the most profound live music experiences of my life, with a complete rendition of their 1970 album Full House, nestled into their 2.5 hour set. The album was a staple in that house, which feels a bit like an Edenic memory now: often decked out in seasonal flowers, or holly and ivy in the winter, lit up by candles with the smells of Bay and Rosemary drifting through the cosy living room, Fairport or Pentangle on the decks and Jan Svenkmeier, Kenneth Anger, or The Wicker Man on the TV. 

Hearing it played back under the Aquarian supermoon through our mycelial haze - by a band that are still at the top of their game despite their advanced years, and amongst a crowd who'd been back every year, some of them since the first one in 1979 - connected the solitary times in the house, with the endless weekends at The White Hotel, and a tradition of getting together to lose ourselves under the spell of loud music, singing, dancing, laughing, and hugging that stretches back not just over decades but millenia. A few of you know I'm about to start a PhD researching the relationships between folk and demotic music forms (like industrial and rave music), subculture, land rights, and communitarian politics. From the start my shows on Narr have been a practical expression of these ideas, trying to draw the same connections in sound. One of the tensions of studying subculture for me has often been a melancholy sense of detachment, always observing but never living an idea or a movement, but this detachment dissolved entirely for me last weekend. 

I wanted to try and capture some of the magic of old Albion and the centuries of wonderful sesh that we seemed to tap into for a few days. This one recalls images of merrie Englande since the Elizabethan years, including the out-of-body transcendentalism of Tallis' Spem In Alium, John Downland's more emo than emo lute music, the early 20th century pastoralism of the village-terrorising, orgy-hosting rockstar composer (and hated music critic) Peter Warlock, and plenty of 60s / 70s folk revival bits - featuring three variations on the Cruel Sister murder ballad, from Ireland, the north sea shore, and London. Gorgeous music that I really love, I hope it hits for you too.

No-mix mix ranging from ethereal, atmospheric songs to gritty basement tunes just for the sake of contemplation. Like watching grass grow.

Lonesome No More w/ Claudia (08/06/23)

Back again and with a mix from the hands behind all night flight. 

Tom has been thoughtfully curating the selection at his physical and online store for a few years now and has nurtured the anf concept into a highly recommended label, with a range of side projects like the tabi tape guerrilla mix series and  monthly (not to be missed) NTS excursion. 

Exiting from the mundane sameness of LD3.0 and reaching out into the mystic, this mix is an engulfing listen that intertwines the textured and tranquil with all out raw experimental jammers. Songs that somehow render the ongoing goings on obsolete, even if just for an hour, dive in!
