███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ "Chantal Passamonte's sophomore album for Warp follows in ░█
█░ the footsteps of its predecessor, One on One, in its ░█
█░ collision of the awkward with the beautiful. Despite living ░█
█░ in the English countryside and having conjured up many of ░█
█░ the sounds on the album from naturally found materials, the ░█
█░ sonic vision of her alter ego is more dilapidated cityscape ░█
█░ than untouched wilderness, with a density forged from the ░█
█░ constant push and pull of opposing elements -- the taps and ░█
█░ scrapes of splintered percussion never quite amounting to a ░█
█░ recognizable beat before they collapse under the weight of ░█
█░ subtle tones and an occasional swell of melody. Like ░█
█░ labelmates Aphex Twin and Autechre, this all amounts to ░█
█░ something of a tough listen, though it is tracks like ░█
█░ 'Sixnot6' and 'Distracted2' that really reward the listener ░█
█░ willing to wade through the bleak atmospherics. The human ░█
█░ interference that defines these two tracks has the effect of ░█
█░ a brittle emotive film holding the rest of the album ░█
█░ together as a tangible whole, emerging from the clangs and ░█
█░ clatters with a minute or so of silk-spun synthetic ░█
█░ orchestration like a shaft of sun through an overcast sky." ░█
█░ -- Kingsley Marshall, All Music Guide blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Chromance comes back at y'all, bringing another tempid rel., ░█
█░ for the nitpickers or those who missed it at the first go; Mira ░█
█░ Calix's second album in all it's continuous glory. Nicking the ░█
█░ words of others*, "Beautiful, evocative, romantic a 61-minute piece, ░█
█░ or movement, with no spaces, no gaps, and lots of interesting noises ░█
█░ conjured from unusual places." A wonderfully interesting exploration ░█
█░ of sonic realms (and other less cheezy terms) can be aptly applied ░█
█░ to this album, as it wanders stylistically from Autechre to Nobukazu ░█
█░ Takemura, and sometimes even a bit of Enigma (not in the soothing ░█
█░ tones, but in the "rainforest sounds"). Enjoy! ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Also, tip o'the cap to DPS for getting the promo version of this ░█
█░ lovely album out to y'all months back. ░█
