On to 2018...

Wil Bolton's 'Maemi' takes its title from the Korean word for cicadas. Recorded live at Cafe OTO, London during the Home Normal label's Homenormalism festival on 3 August 2013, Wil weaves effected guitar drones, synthesizer, music box, effects pedals and environmental sounds creating a slow moving dronescape. The environmental sounds - timber mill machinery, traffic, and the buzz of cicadas - were recorded in Incheon, South Korea in August 2012, during an artist residency at the Incheon Art Platform.

Week 4  is taken from Sounds of a New Father, the new album by Olan Mill.

After the recent album on Unknown Tone Records, Olan Mill returns to Shimmering Moods Records. There is no doubt that the birth of a child is the most incredible, wonderous, and, frankly, miraculous event to be a part of. It’s the climax of the most complex and awe-inspiring biological processes, the most radical change the human body can go through and the most utterly emotionally over-whelming event possible. No wonder everyone involved is knocked for six....“The music was recorded in the moments after baby Alma had gone to sleep. All tracks were recorded using electric guitar and effect pedals. There was no post production or revisions to the original recordings. I was very tired while thumbing out these drones.....” Alex Smalley aka Olan Mill.

A preview of Fossil Hunting Collective's emotionally poignant new offering, Vacancy.

CDs and digital available here: bit.ly/2DHB528

Immediately recognisable as the pensive foundation of the Still Harbours palette, Vacancy delivers Jones’ trademark emotional complexity but to an even deeper, more uncompromising end. Reminiscent in its expression, its pieces take on a mournfully nostalgic feel, each delivering a fragment of solemn memory or deserted space. And yet, atmospheric backdrops of ghost-like sustain work to retain a degree of comfort, a hint of reassurance that what has been may well be again.

There is an unparalleled emotive quality to Fossil Hunting Collective’s sound, sober and reflective, inimitable in its expression. Vacancy showcases this in earnest, with an attention to detail that is as lucid as it is compassionate.
