Album Text
On Night Train Vacancies, Liminal Drifter takes his ideas of shifting identities, travel and states of consciousness to the logical extreme. While most of debut album Troubled Mystic (Hidden Shoal, 2015) was written while travelling and visiting new places, The Night Train Vacancies sees Liminal Drifter’s music taking new journeys of its own. By throwing the original tracks out into the world, to be reinterpreted by artists such as Erik Nilsson, Matt McLean (of Lilt), Lvmark, p_Frisk and Robwun, Simon Order has invested his musical flights of fancy with fresh wings. 

Labelmate Erik Nilsson’s reworking of ‘Trouble Mystic’ is an exercise in both restraint and expansion, reining in the original’s downtempo beats and horns, pairing Chloe March’s voice with nylon-string guitar and shimmering synth. Matt McLean, working under the moniker of Feeding | Ear, morphs the ambient electronica of ‘Adventure Beyond the Body’ into a spectral, tension-and-release banger. p-Frisk’s sublime mashup seamlessly interweaves three originals from Troubled Mystic into an eerie shuffle, populated by ghostly hooks, while Order’s own remix of labelmate Kryshe’s ‘Lullaby’ renders the original in a palette that sits beautifully with the other tracks. In fact, if there’s a distinguishing feature of this collection, it’s how well the tracks flow together, despite the variety of remixers involved and their diverse approaches to the source material.

Troubled Mystic, released by Hidden Shoal in 2015, is his debut solo album, featuring collaborations with English dream-pop artist Chloe March. Drawing on the seminal Warp releases of the ’90s, including Black Dog, Plaid and early Autechre, as well as more contemporary peers, Liminal Drifter evokes a spectrum of emotions across beautifully detailed electronic tapestries. Moving from downtempo dream-pop to shimmering, spacey electronica, this suite of songs works as if by osmosis, gently irradiating your subconscious.

Liminal Drifter is Dr. Simon Order. Under the ’90s moniker of dUB Rumble, Order worked with UK bands Galahad, The Bird Tribe and The Producers, and gained experience in TV, film and radio sound. Order landed in Western Australia in 2005 and went on sonic hiatus until 2013, when he emerged from the wilderness to resume working on tracks as Liminal Drifter. Order is also an academic at Perth’s Murdoch University, where he researches radio and music technology, including radio production, community media, user-interface usability, and the use of music technology in teaching and learning.

Liminal Drifter - Troubled Mystic (Erik Nilsson remix)

'Beach Fair' is the single taken from The Dreams, the third album by Perth-based electronica artist Liminal Drifter (aka Dr Simon Order). The full album will see release on the 12th of June through Hidden Shoal. More on Liminal Drifter here - http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/liminal-drifter/
 
The Dreams
Following his acclaimed debut album, Troubled Mystic, and its remix companion, Night Train Vacancies, this new collection displays Simon Order’s ongoing mastery of melodic, transportive electronica. Befitting its title, The Dreams has a hypnotic feel, its pristine sonics rendered uncanny by subliminal details. Track titles such as ‘Beach Fair’, ‘Angels of the Sea’ and ‘Fish Don’t Have Arms or Legs’ offer suggestions of the aquatic vibe of the release, with sonar pings and synth pads washing in and out as samples of submerged voices nag at the subconscious. Whether it’s the driving bassline of ‘Stranger Things’, the dream-pop guitars and skanking piano on ‘Man is Part of Nature’, or the thick synth arpeggiation on the closing track ‘Time Lapse’, The Dreams takes great care to offer up waves of lush dreamtronica.

Liminal Drifter
Liminal Drifter is Dr. Simon Order.

The Dreams

Liminal Drifter - Beach Fair

Encapsulating infinite energy in vehement progressive rock, Perth five-piece Yalla Yalla return with their stunning sophomore EP, Tides.  Perfectly controlled, the first single Not Ordinary juxtaposes the technical with the uncomplicated – melding effortless emotion with sheer cognitive power and complexity.  Crescendoing in a tempest of soloing guitars and soaring vocals, it is as definitive a song of Yalla Yalla as any.
Recorded and mixed by Troy Nababan, Tides is divided by interludes that sculpt and guide an overall narrative – cutting out a path like a river flowing to the ocean.  The band's fans have patiently waited for new music since 2015's Centre Yourself, and they will not be disappointed.

Not Ordinary

We’re excited to present the first cut from "Cupid’s Empty House (The Remixes)", the new remix EP by US-based dreampop artist REW<<. Liminal Drifter's brilliant re-working of the original is now available ahead of the EP release on the 26th of October 2018.

“Olive Skinned, Silver Tongued Sirens Sing Swan Songs is a fantastically varied, moving, and imaginative opus, and it deserves to be celebrated.” – The Big Takeover

Cupid’s Empty House (The Remixes) features reworkings by Markus Mehr, Liminal Drifter, Ethan Kavanagh, Twilla and Rachel Harrup, plus the sublime original, taken from REW<<’s 2015 album Olive Skinned, Silver Tongued Sirens Sing Swan Songs. There’s plenty to work with in the original’s delicate music box melodies and swooning synth strings, which evoke The Flaming Lips’ masterpiece The Soft Bulletin.

Hidden Shoal labelmates Markus Mehr and Liminal Drifter reimagine the original as a celestial exhalation and a burbling submarine delight, respectively. Ethan Kavanaugh sends snatches of voice snaking around glimmers of synth and drums, while Twilla juxtaposes pitch-shifted voice and thick bass against a stumbling drum loop. Finally, Rachel Harrup skilfully emphasises the delicious syncopation of the original.
