Cool Room (live at Miscellania 19122021)

Formed by Arian Lane (Drowsy Maggies, Honey Hunter) and Jordan Hicks (Contrast, Bench Press, Skyscraper Stan and the Commission Flats) on Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung land, Pyrex lays its roots in Lane’s singing and songwriting which takes shape from a love of classic folk, psychedelia, shoegaze and 90’s era music. 

‘I Want Love’ was recorded and produced by Pyrex and accomplished producer Richard Pleasance (Paul Kelly, Augie March, Wentworth soundtrack), mastered by Blake Gee (Miners) and will feature on their debut release, expected in 2022. ‘I Want Love’ is a raw, dynamic and psychedelic crescendo displaying Lane’s heart-on-sleeve approach to songwriting, allowing a brief and enticing insight into what’s to come from the band.

Formed by Arian Lane (The Drowsy Maggies; Honey Hunter) and Jordan Hicks (Contrast; Bench Press) on Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung land, Pyrex lays its roots in Lane’s singing and songwriting which takes shape from a love of classic folk, psychedelia, shoegaze and 90’s era music.

Their debut single, 'I Want Love', which was released in early 2022 received play and praise on community radio Australia-wide. Their second single, 'Same Things', taken from debut EP 'Noise For No Reason', due out early 2023, features friend and talented local Ballarat musician Connor Toomey and delves further into the bands dream pop leanings, showcasing groovy tapestries, lush instrumentation and ethereal vocals.

James Holden played this ambient / other mix at a Speckle gathering last year.

He will share more like this on Fri 8 Dec 2023 in London. Info–> https://speckle.se/daw

This mix bears nearly three hours of winding explorations as James DJed for a lounge of interlocking bodies: 
–drifters in obscure motion and silent during a non-verbal hour.

There were paper and pens, so people wrote and drew to each other instead of talking. They would also mime, or speak with the body.

For December's event at Limehouse Town Hall, James will bring a fascinating set of ambients for dream or dance.

@syberkid, Inner Child Labour & @specklesound bring further textures on the night.
