| |
| Gareth Dickson is ghostlike. From the dark outskirts of Glasgow he |
| has sent three studio studio albums in to the world û Collected |
| Recordings (2009), The Dance (2010) and Quite A Way Away (2012). |
| These albums have bewitched a growing inner circle, including some |
| of the most innovative musicians around today û Juana Molina and |
| Vashti Bunyan to name just two. Gareth has been the only constant |
| member of VashtiÆs touring outfit over the past ten years and |
| latterly they have stripped down to a duet on their worldwide |
| travels. Vashti indeed makes a spectral apparition on the first |
| track of GarethÆs new album Orwell Court. |
| |
| Gareth DicksonÆs music is both beautiful and dark. A quiet |
| Scottish melancholy underpinned by a grace and ethereal purity |
| paired with a unique impression where the delicacy of Nick Drake |
| mixes with the openness and space Brian Eno. GarethÆs music is |
| often stripped down to the spare elements of voice and acoustic |
| guitar, but a complex and mysterious music hides beneath the |
| surface, demanding but generous and surprising. Clearly picking up |
| where his previous albums left off, Gareth throws in a few |
| surprises. Gleaned from his time spent touring and experimenting |
| between albums the addition of a drum kit, some keyboards and |
| guest vocalists enrich the palette. But fear not, these elements, |
| while previously unheard of in his music, are approached with the |
| subtlety that his listeners expect. They are a texture that adds |
| dimension throughout the album. The hush is still there in its |
| most genuine form. |
| |
| In the image of itÆs author, on the brink of falling in to |
| juvenille delinqueny, Gareth took a straighter path and ended up |
| on the university trampoline team while studying aerospace |
| engineering. Now he spends his days eating vegan snacks, knows how |
| to choose a good lawyer, and sports his normcore t-shirts on the |
| tennis courts of GlasgowÆs Southside. At night he presses his red |
| Doc Martens a little harder on the accelerator of his Rover 75 on |
| highways where they drive on the left. Everything is only a |
| pretext to fuel his visceral need of creation, as attested by his |
| superglued nails cared for as extensions of his guitar. Accuracy |
| and uniqueness are at the heart of his artistic process. He |
| establishes a relationship to time outwith the current mad and |
| superficial pace of our own. His music is a form of modern |
| classicism, by a man constantly aware that perfection lies |
| shrouded in mists of uncertainty and ambiguity. It is above all a |
| question of obsession and atmosphere. And it is a unwaveringly |
| sublime cover of this Joy Division title that closes Orwell Court. |
| Past revisited, and behind that, transcendence. |
