Kirkfield Non (Tape)
Duelling blues, simultaneously piquant and distorted, from one of Death Is Not The End’s few extant acts, following the label string of compilation pearls Back for third servings after an eponymous debut and ‘Fayet’ in 2017, Torontonian siblings Kevin and Patrick Cahill pick out bittersweet, wayward blues on these 2020 recordings made in their home city and out by the lakes in Kirkfield.

Unieqav
Carsten Nicolai concludes Alva Noto’s UNI-prefixed release cycle with Unieqav, the 3rd and most dancefloor-focussed instalment of the series. The follow-up to Unitxt [2008] and Univrs [2011] pairs pendulous minimal techno and electro rhythms with wide, sheer electronic drones in a way that strongly recalls recent Monolake output as well as Ilpo Väisänen in full swang. Comparisons aside, though, it’s unmistakably Alva Noto. Pursuing the project’s roots in the dancefloor of Tokyo’s UNIT club to a…

Odyssée
A relatively obscure band from the underground French progrock scene from the 70's, founded by sound designer Alain Coupel and guitar player Jack Mlynski. Half King Crimson's complexity, half Gong's fantasy, the quartet was best known for writing songs that were deeply occult and strange. Vocals are sparse, enigmatic and ghostly. The album’s real centerpiece is “Artcane I”, a
lengthy track encapsulating everything great about Artcane: patient
crescendos of cosmic atmospherics, hypnotic keybo…
Ultratumba
The Galician duo Trajedesaliva (Mon Ninguén – music , synths & Una Vena – words, voice and visual concept) returns with Ultratumba, an album full of passion, anguish, bitterness and sadness. Guided by naked emotions as much as by sparkling intellect, this is a singular work, an architectural wonder of pure analog electronic sound as we have not heard for a long time, with splendorous timbres that tend to the dark but also to the emotionally devastating. An album that feels strangely interactive …
For Kounellis
The music on this recording was initiated when Grazia and Gianni Bolongaro, owners of La Marrana di Montemarcello asked me to record the sounds of Jannis Kounellis’ installation and make a piece in response. Kounellis’ untitled installation comprises 23 large church bells that appear to spiral out from a cylindrical chamber rooted in the Earth’s core. I was struck by the intensity of this chorus of silent tongues, facing the sky and projecting a colossal resonance that is felt but is not heard. …
