Forest Management – Remain

Afterhours, 2018

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″] Forest Management has become one of my favorite contemporary projects over 2018. John Daniel’s (@cascadecrash) music is pacifying and contemplative, and moves me in profound ways. Check out his new CD of piano loops on his new imprint After Hours[/perfectpullquote]

Wake in June – Tendons / Engrams

Weatnu Records, 2018

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″]WAKE IN JUNE (@WasItJoy) has a new 2 song single out now. If you’re not familiar with his kinda New Order inspired, kinda shoegazey but not as in your face songs, you should be. Great subtle builds and layers of guitars that’s never heavy or overbearing.[/perfectpullquote]

Hood – I’ve Forgotten How to Live

Love Train, 1996 / 555 Recordings, 1995 / Misplaced Music, 2003

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″]I’m in an FB group people were slagging off the NPR top 100 2018 list as they hadn’t heard of any of them. I’m not saying it’s a good list. I wrote a response on their lethargy, re being gifted nearly 100 recommendations to try and them not bothering, supporting new artists. Ever more conservative releases etc etc but didn’t post it (certain irony in that somewhere) you just cant tell some people. Anyway I’ve just played the Forgotten How To Live single and feel good about searching out the interesting stuff![/perfectpullquote]

The Declining Winter – Belmont Slope

Home Assembly Music, 2018

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″] Truly a Northern English album, Belmont Slope is a haphazard car ride across the M62, a love letter to the hills of Yorkshire and Lancashire, a paean to desolate beauty, unattainable love and lost friends. [/perfectpullquote]

Autechre – Sinistrail Sentinel

Adult Swim, 2018

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″] Welcome to hell, well maybe not hell, but a hellish soundscape, produced by Autechre. The revered British duo has released a new song for Adult Swim’s singles program called “sinistrail sentinel” and the title captures the mood entirely. The nearly 12-minute song is dark and menacing, with percussion echoing around the listener, dark, intermittent bass stabs, piercing high-pitched effects and haunting low sounds that come and go like you are walking through a hellish haunted house and they jump out at you indiscriminately with menace.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″]This song was recounts a (2006) dream about David Bowie’s dead body…but it was really about a girl who dumped me (of course) and David’s body was merely a stand in for the moribund relationship.[/perfectpullquote]

The Fall – Free Range

Peel Session, 1992

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”16″]It pays to talk to no one. A life code. Grudge match. This is the summer of malcontent. This is the winter of your mind. This is the spring without end. Free range. Also sprach Zarathustra. In 10 years, a life code. Proliferating across the earth[/perfectpullquote]
