From Boomkat:
Japan's Flau label casts its net across a worldwide community of artists with a particular affection for
fragile arrangements and microscopic songwriting. Notably the likes of Hood and the Moteer crew are
featured, with contributions from The Boats, Part Timer, El Fog (as part of duo Pan Am Scan) and Flau co
-owner Aus, whose Quicktime collaboration with video artist Iris Piers is included as an enhanced extra on
the disc. The compilation starts as it means to go on, with Yorkshire's Jasper Leyland carving out roomy
pastoral songs out of field recordings, glockenspiel and fragments of acoustic guitar. Next comes two
actual songs, the first from Bristolian pianist and singer Rachel Dadd, the second from Boomkat faves
Hood, which strips the band's sound right down to the simplest combination of voice, acoustic guitar and
plenty of tape hiss. Despite such a simple, seemingly lo-fi formula, 'This Year's First Storm' sounds
incredibly beautiful and finely balanced - just vintage Hood. Fans of Noble Records and 12k offshoot Happy
will be pleased to see the inclusion of Gutevolk, who in this instance has reverted to her own name Hirono
Nishiyama for the delightful 'Word's End Fanfare', which brilliantly melds natural instruments like flutes and
plucked strings with laptop beats and delicately layered vocals. Further in, Morr Music regular FS Blumm
combines with trumpet toting New Yorker Luca Fadda for some playful, low-key electroacoustics, while
more explicitly digital work punctuates the compilation. Contributions from Cokiyu, Radicalfashion and Pan
Am Scan are all exemplary warm, electronic lullabies - matching the intimacy of the acoustic, song-based
output of Marla Hansen, Patten and Lori Scacco. A truly lovely piece of work, Little Things establishes a
global network of international artists who all share in a similar musical vision, regardless of how different
their respective approaches might be. Limited copies - absolutely gorgeous material.
