Well, whatÆs to say about Jason Corder?
HeÆs been pretty much my favourite
artist since I first heard his Resting
Bell release, æRare DecayÆ. Of course I
love lots of music but rarely has an
artist put out so much amazing work,
under various monikers, as Jason. I love
his work so much, I am releasing him
across all my labels û Home Normal,
Tokyo Droning and Nomadic Kids Republic.
ThatÆs how varied his work is, and gosh
darn it, why not?
Jason has been with the Home Normal
æprojectÆ (as I initially termed it)
since its inception. The early pieces
from Hiding Nature were with me at the
end of 2008 and were one of the main
reasons for starting the label. He spent
the past year finalising it and, I have
to say (and I know I may be biased
here), I think this is his chef-
dÆoeuvre.
The album is obviously an offthesky
record, with its minute attention to
detail and its beautiful, often
creeping, sometimes sporadic, bursts of
melody. Essentially JasonÆs plan was to
make an album of heavily processed
vibraphone pieces, yet it became so much
more featuring clever use of warbly
guitar tones and textures throughout,
and incredible haunting vocal
arrangements on æFrozen FountainÆ, for
example. It ranges from the melodic
brilliance of æHand Held LightlyÆ to the
more experimental playfulness of
æClockwortÆ, from the guitar chords
mixed with bleeps of melody on æLittle
Subtle SecretÆ to the delicately
processed vibraphone of æRest But Not
LeastÆ.
Its a complete listening experience by
one of the most talented producers
around today, an astonishing record and
the most fun I have heard in melodious
experimentation in some time, maybe
ever. As Jason himself says, æEnjoy this
with your nearest breathing thingÆ. And
I have, and I will, again and again and
again andà
