Tom Hill is perhaps best known for his work as one
half of electronica duo Wauvenfold and for the Penfold
Plum moniker he uses for his solo output, but for this,
his Expanding Records debut he's chosen the rather
enigmatic heading of Origamibiro.
Gone are the more angular beat contortions of Wauvenfold,
Hill instead favouring a sound centred on his nylon-strung
acoustic guitar and some finely spun, computer-aided
audio treatments.
'Dissect Ephemeral' is one of those beautifully sewn together
pieces of acoustic electronica that brings to mind Kim Hiorthoy
or Manyfingers at their most overtly mellifluous. Following on
immediately from this, 'Womb Duvet' is every bit as warm and
cosy as its title suggests, with muffled, bass-heavy pads and
hiss-laden crackling beats scuttling along delicately in the
background. It brings back fond memories of the early
Hobby Industries output.
'Remnants' is similarly lovely, sounding not unlike
The Gentleman Losers for all its dusty post-rock beauty.
Another key point of reference would be the first two Colleen
albums:
Hill's looping treatment of string instruments is certainly in
that same other-worldly mold. A thoroughly beautiful listen
which you'd do well to investigate without delay...
