Haq - “Evaporator” (BS044)

The new release from the fine Bearsuit Records finds us tumbling down to the spiralling sounds of Haq; 60s spy theme sexiness merges with the avant-garde dreampop of a bewitched Stereolab playing hopscotch with Delia Derbyshire whilst sucking on the feedback of a JAMC lollipop. This album really is a beautiful work of aural magic and makes for quite a moving experience: maybe there is a God after all.
[Monolith Cocktail] 

It’s way, way out there, strange and bewildering. It’s a headfuck, but that’s not a criticism - it's the weird and wonderful world of Haq...
[Aural Aggravation]

Of course, being Haq there’s always that possibility that things will go south and rattle your expectations and morph into something resembling Captain Beefheart or the Residents crossed with Faust and Einstürzende Neubauten on summer holiday at the beach! 
[It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine]

A really great thing! Loved the whole thang! A great album all round...
[On The Wire – BBC Radio Lancashire]

Wonderful stuff! An excellent LP. … It really is pristine. Bearsuit Records continue to amplify in every compass direction of the continent of excellence! This is a really exceptional LP
[In-Tune, Bcfm]

Great stuff as usual... Very good indeed!
[Aural Delights]

Haq - "Nocturnals" (BS20)

Nocturnals is one of those rare albums that mixes extreme experimentation with pop beauty and actually works. A gorgeous album, and one whose timing could not be better. This is a perfect spring record. Some sun, some rain, some flowering, some cold spells. A must listen.
Simon Tucker
[Louder than War] 

Gorgeous debut of the collaborative album from Haq between Tokyo-based dynamic duo N-qia by adorable singer Nozomi and programmer Takma and Edinburgh-based multifarious musician Harold Nono. Original and highly enjoyable. Have a listen!
Vito Camarretta
[Chain D.L.K.] 

Haq have hatched the simply immaculate ’Nocturnals’. with ghost like delight this twelve track set is tenderly and sublimely seduced to a landscape that’s glitch glowed and immersed in an after lights out cool sophistication. Imagine a heavenly blissed out this mortal coil being reframed by a lo-fi glitch geared Goldfrapp. Disturbingly beautiful all said.
Mark Barton 
[The Sunday Experience]

On my final run through it seemed that every song had some unique and wonderful moments but I also came to the conclusion that Haq could have produced a damn near perfect pop record but instead of choosing the easy and obvious path in a song, they repeatedly take the least expected route. It’s easy to love this album for the little slice of hazy summer sun that it is.
Kim Monaghan
[Sitting Now ]

[Bees In My Feet] Noisy but really quite subtle and beautiful. A wonderful, wonderful sound!
[Track of the Week - Amazing Beats, Amazing Radio]

Experimental electronica that’s compelling, odd, and oddly compelling. ‘Nocturnals’ is an arresting record that will stutter and shiver its way into the psyche, whether you want it to or not.
Christopher Nosnibor
[Whisperinandhollerin]

Album "Noctis Sonus" now available on ITunes, Amazon MP3, and other retailers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
