Album review: Chihei Hatakeyama – ‘Late Spring’: a halcyon, beautiful ambient journey

  • April 4, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Late Spring takes elements of IDM, shoegaze, and drone, and fashions them together in an impressionistic, delicious fog, with a pretty unique pastoralist feel, alive in nature. It's pretty much the only album I've ever heard that makes me reconsider such unassailable classics of the slow leftfield as Stars of the Lids' The Tired Sounds Of ... and Windy & Carl's Consciousness and made me think: whoah there guys, these records are a bit ... sharp-edged, right? Take it easy. Let it breathe. That halcyon. Late Spring is bloody, bloody beautiful.

Album review: Renee Reed – ‘Renee Reed’: an excellent, ethereal debut from Louisiana folk chanteuse

  • March 22, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Renée Reed's debut is spun from very clever finery; a flow of tracks, folky and so American and yet so European, psychedelic in the way Devendra is, spectral in the way Marissa Nadler so is; Espers, but less mushroomy. Renée: she's such a talent. I'm not sure if I want to wake from this particular spell.
