New Zealand guitarist and sound-artist Peter Wrights back
catalogue stretches to something like 30 releases over the last
dozen years. 'Yellow Horizons' is the most recent of these and
follows on from 2004's 'Distant Bombs' (Last Visible Dog), and
'Desolation Beauty Violence' (Digitalis). This CD finds him
relocated to dirty old London town from where he has written a
series of love-drones to the wild South Island of his homeland.
Wrights guitar craft opens vistas that are as contemplative as
they are emotionally engaging. Periods of preperatory silence
awaken into long slow shifting drones; layered 'folk' patterns
build to an almost psychotropic intensity before being subsumed
once more within the drone... These scenes are as varied as the
South Island itself. There are glaciers as well as sunburnt
plains.
"If Windy & Carl's vision of Antarctica is your idea of bliss,
you will drool over this soundscape depiction of Peter Wright's
home in New Zealand. Now living in London, these are what the
label calls "love-drones," as Wright's memories of his home's
wide open spaces inspire slowly unfolding waves of lush guitar.
"The Chain Bridge" opens the album with Rothko-esque pulses of
bass tones, flowing through the song like small ripples in the
water beneath a haze of soft feedback. "Offa's Dyke" is even
more pure and bare, slowing down time with a trembling cloud of
guitar that expands and drifts apart like the clouds across the
song's 13 minutes. "Yellow Horizon" continues the calming tone,
but with a fragile, crystalline guitar structure, sounding like
Mi Media Naraja-era Labradford. Deep in a trance from the
song's first twenty minutes, the miniscule builds in tempo and
structure that follow in the middle of the album can easily
overwhelm your senses. The guitar of "Bannockburn" comes out of
nowhere, emerging from the ether, first following a pattern
like muted church bells, but picking up the pace and sharpening
the tone to create tension. The moderate pace of "Pendulum"
also seems heightened when compared to the calm, open meadows
of the rest of the album. Eastern-sounding string instruments
give the song a Hala Strana-like feel as a persistent strum
stirs the cauldron, emitting dark tones from a second guitar.
The album ends on a similar note to how it begun, bringing the
heartbeat back down and enjoying the view, using the purest
micro-drones and tones in the forlorn-sounding "Song for the
Losers" and the brightly hued "Wonderful."" (Jim Steed)
