Given that Britain seems to be dispensing with the hassle
of seasons by adopting a dull-as-f*ck climate model which
has us living in a perpetual September-hinterland, it's
probably inevitable that you'll soon be able to buy a dose
of summer-sun/winter-frost/autumn-drizzle on eBay - then
indulge in a selection of pursuits accordingly. Tenuous to
say the least, this brings us to the new album from Luca di
Mira (of Giardini di Miro fame) who, operating as Pillow,
has plumped a soft and comfy selection of intricately
melancholic compositions and entitled them æFlowing
SeasonsÆ. Joined by a cavalcade of contributors (Populous,
Corrado Nuccini and Matilde Davoli to name but a few...),
Luca Di Mira has given voice to a wandering predilection
that isnÆt easily captured on record. Opening with æSong
For BeginningÆ, a patter of electronic footsteps are given
glorious texture by Di Mira's sunrise vocals û taking cues
from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, whilst frosting the
resultant bloom in a restrained bombast that hints at a
less histrionic Sigur Ros. Next up is æCut-Out-And-Keep
QuarrelsÆ, wherein Telefon Tel Aviv's glassy smooth is
cracked under some glitch onslaught, the supine strings of
æIndecisionÆ raise the emotions beautifully, whilst the
languid unfurl of æThick SkinÆ is almost unbearably coy.
And sleep...
