Julia Kent

Green And Grey (Expanded)

Leaf

New York-based cellist / composer Julia Kent’s celebrated second album, Green and Grey (2011), is to be released on vinyl for the very first time for Black Friday 2019. Across two discs, on green and grey coloured vinyl (naturally), this expanded edition features the preceding Last Day in July EP (2010) and two previously unreleased tracks. The gatefold sleeve features a new interpretation of the original artwork.

Green and Grey explores the intersections between the human world and the natural world, the melding of the technological and the organic using Kent’s now trademark looped and layered cello, electronics, and field recordings. It references the patterns and repetitions that exist in nature often mirrored in human creations and also the complexity and fragility of our relationships, with one another and with the world that surrounds us. Without collaborators - other than the insects, weather, and wind sounds that create a sort of exoskeleton for the music - she has created an intensely personal landscape that references the way nature, however subverted and endangered by our modern world, still retains its power.

Murcof

Cosmos

Leaf

The truly monumental "Cosmos" is Murcof's third album proper, and his first release since 2005's "Remembranza". Made up of six massive instrumental compositions inspired by his new-found love of astronomy, this is without doubt Fernando Corona's best work yet. The set was composed almost entirely from recordings of classical instruments, a process which Corona describes as 'expanding the possibilities of acoustic instruments through electronics'. A move away from the glitch sound he helped to pioneer, "Cosmos" will appeal as much to fans of contemporary composition and artists such as Earth, Sunn O))), KTL or Bohren as it would to lovers of Brian Eno's ambient album series. Definitely one to appreciate on a proper stereo with the volume right up!

Nancy Elizabeth

Battle And Victory

Leaf

With an intuitive understanding of melody and dynamics, Nancy Elizabeth brings a refreshingly Northern turn of phrase to her debut album, "Battle And Victory". The Lancashire-born singer's down-to-earth songs are brought to life by her warm and unaffected voice. Unpretentious but effortlessly ambitious, Nancy turns the retro, less-is-more aesthetic of the current acoustic revival on its head. Not content with writing and singing all the songs herself, the 23-year-old also plays most of the instruments, including guitar, khim, Indian harmonium, Appalachian dulcimer and bouzouki, amongst many others. The album was recorded in a 17th Century white stone cottage in the remote Welsh countryside, and a village hall outside Manchester, resulting in an intimate, uncontrived gem of a record. Using a minimum of recording equipment, the heartfelt honesty of her songs is revealed, extending to grander, more complex arrangements when the occasion calls, and bringing in friends to add cello, horns and percussion. While her work is never in thrall to any particular artist or genre, Nancy's music calls to mind aspects of artists as diverse as The Incredible String Band, Talk Talk and Led Zeppelin.

Fusing the music of the Balkans with American folk, klezmer, Roma and Turkish music and Western pop, AHAAH have created something fresh, exciting and exuberant. The album was partly recorded in a remote Romanian village with members of the gypsy brass band, Fanfare Ciocarlia. Two members of AHAAH are also members of current hotshots Beirut, and this will certainly appeal to fans of them.

Volcano!

Beautiful Seizure

Leaf

This debut album by young Chicago trio Volcano! is an intense, exhilarating and immensely rewarding ride comparable to Deerhoof, Black Dice, and at times The Pixies and Sonic Youth. What may at first sound chaotic and unplanned reveals itself on repeated listening as meticulously structured: rhythms gather, flicker, melt(down) and emerge as something different; splenetic episodes give way to passages of hymnal calm which in turn are shattered as language breaks down into strobe-like stuttering and is tugged back into line by Sam Scranton's insistent drumming.

Remembranza

Leaf

As Murcof, composer Fernando Corona creates some of the most captivating music being made today. For several years he has combined musical styles in wholly new ways, adding emotional depth to robotic minimalism. His innovative approach reaches new heights with "Remembranza", his sublime second full album as Murcof, a record that creates a storied, layered framework within strict micro-boundaries. The pieces here incorporate traditional intrumentation recorded especially for the album, working in tandem with his passion for new and unexplored rhythms.

Clue To Kalo

One Way, It's Every Way

Leaf

Written and recorded in Adelaide during a two-year period of great personal change, "One Way, It's Every Way" is Mark Mitchell's second album as Clue To Kalo and a huge step forward both lyrically and musically. Instrumental contributions from friends old and new, along with elements of new folk and electronica, are recontextualised as a ten track set thick with overloaded melodies, multi-part harmonies and literate language.

Darkness At Noon

Clue To Kalo

Come Here When You Sleepwalk

Leaf

Mark Mitchell is a young guy, unlucky in love judging by some of these lyrics, from Australia who as Club To Kalo presents on "Come Here When You Sleepwalk" a set of loops, voice and atmospherics that weave an ambiguous dream-like electronic spell. If you like Iceland's Mum or Notwist you'll go a bundle on this gently hypnotic set of tracks that has gentle melodies that meld into hushed songs with real vocals. Always sweet, always interesting.
