▀ ▄ Release Notes ███
███
███
███
Infantjoy are preoccupied with phantoms. Not only have they ███
covered JapanÆs ôGhostsö (a dead giveaway) on With and placed ███
an intriguing poem about spectres as its climax, but in order ███
to keep the PKE Meter busy theyÆve also ensured that the ███
whole thing is chock-full of atmospheric electronica. So much ███
so, that itÆs a little like being taken on a mini-cinematic ███
trip through a haunted mansion or, at the very least, through ███
a YouTube style compilation of disquieting set-pieces. Every ███
listen is a tentative walk into a chilly room with fraying, ███
dusty curtains flapping erratically in a whistling breeze. ███
The shape of a lady beckons to you from a single, lonely ███
chair by the abandoned fireplace. She seems lost. Out of ███
place. As her head gently rises, it is clear that something ███
is very wrong ... the figure has Paul MorleyÆs face. Brrr. ███
███
This is MorleyÆs second jaunt as Infantjoy, in partnership ███
once again with former-Auteur James Banbury. A couple of ███
tracks from their debut Where the Night Goes pop up again ███
here, presumably in rejigged and extra-spookified form (hence ███
the tagline for Withùôrevisions, versions, originals.ö) Just ███
over half involve collaborations with special guests (hence ███
the name With) who IÆm not really cool enough to know much ███
about. Except for Sarah Nixey, whom everyone is required to ███
know something about by UK law. Or should be. ███
███
Nixey lends her vocals to the aforementioned ôGhostsö cover, ███
backed by soft wind chimes that gradually mutate into the ███
digital burblings of an unattended fruit machine. Perhaps ███
itÆs just the material, but her voice seems warmer here than ███
when delivering the sardonic prose of Black Box Recorder. The ███
appearance is welcome; one of the few pieces where the spoken ███
word features at all, serving as respite from the pure, ███
mood-setting ambience. It is joined later by a further burst ███
of vocal significance: ôAbsence.ö Here, Morley himself offers ███
some words of advice about encounters with the supernatural, ███
whilst the rumbling beats and mangled synths do their best ███
impression of whirling some books and crockery around the ███
room. ItÆs a neatly philosophical musing about the nature of ███
hauntingsùthat we are all pursued by our own ghosts. But the ███
delivery is just too familiar. However engaging the track ███
becomes it will always primarily be Paul Morley talking ███
amusingly about apparitions, and this somewhat overrides any ███
other desired effects. ███
███
It is immediately followed by the chopped structure and ███
distorted sounds of the mansion folding in upon itself. ███
Presumably the meeting with the spirit didnÆt go well. This ███
is an unusually violent few minutes in the context of the ███
album, the majority of which is relatively sedate. Until this ███
point, the unquiet dead are content to express their sorrow ███
through rapid, hollow-wood percussion, repeated piano ███
phrases, or the delicate chimes of a ballerina music box. ███
Perhaps the occasional instrumental drone. Even the uncanny ███
industrial churning of ôBlossom on a Stemö remains composed ███
and rhythmic. Before the presence in the property is ███
challenged, the goosebumps arise only from the observation of ███
loneliness and loss. Only when actively confronted do the ███
ghosts turn upon us. ███
███
Perhaps thereÆs something in that. ███
███
Yet whether this message exists at all, or is as nebulous as ███
the shadowy shapes conjured by the shimmering, whispering ███
tones, is not of paramount importance. In the realm of the ███
corporeal, Infantjoy have crafted a compelling work. One that ███
can boast a richness of metaphysical resonance. ███
