From Boomkat:
The latest release from The Remote Viewer's Moteer label sees John McCaffrey (a constituent part of
Clickits) going it alone for his debut record under his autonomous moniker of Part Timer. Sounding like a
lost English Folk classic, the eponymous LP is a dusty coalition of tender melodies and faded
compositions that reveal their vibrant history through subtle flourishes - with McCaffrey instinctively
knowing when to leave something out as much as put something in. Opening through 'Unwritten Letter To
No. 9', some tape treated guitar is teased into life atop a skipping stone of electronics and warm melodies,
with an intimate atmosphere crafted from the hearth-like ingredients. Taking this tender atmosphere and
giving it a vocal axis courtesy of the Empress' Nicola Hodgkinson, 'We Made A Big Mistake' is up next and
provides a definite highlight - as a water-clogged batch of instrumentation is sent swirling by the poignant
lyrics and subtle production flourishes that are best seen from the corner of your eye. Sharing an evident
heritage with the likes of Mum and The Boats, 'We Made A Big Mistake' also gives a nod to the aural lint of
Jan Jelinek et al. - a situation made all the more pronounced by the next track 'Daytona'. Easing you in
through a flutter of mealy crackles, a delicate guitar is soon given room to blossom - never quite peaking
as you expect and as such instilling proceedings with a fabulously piquant sense of something being not
quite right. Elsewhere, 'Thinking, Unthinking' is another vocal cut that sees the lyrics being spun backwards
and forwards to satisfying effect, 'Hear... To Something' is an energetic coming together of EFX, acoustics
and ribald beats (think Four Tet's 'Tangle'), whilst 'It Only Means' slips in some old-skool female vocals
amongst it's thicket of thrumming instrumentation.
