Album review: Field Works – ‘Cedars’: Stuart Hyatt fuses cosmic Americana and Arabic sounds; the results are luscious

  • March 1, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Cedars is quite a record - two records really; the first more orange and various other colours of the sun's framing of the beginning and the ending of the day, alive with a heartfelt yearning and cosmic sonic thrill. The second is far more verdant, deep green, homespun, and focuses in very much in on the wonder of the simple; the moments we all return to, perhaps, at least us rural dwellers. If you're at all conceptually familiar with the work of William Blake, his Songs Of Innocence And Experience, you'll see; the twining and correspondences. Climb into Cedars, join the two worlds for yourself; the album is long on thought and also on beauty.

Album review: Neil Cowley – ‘Hall Of Mirrors’: A love letter to a city and an instrument

  • March 1, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Neil Cowley has been on a journey away from, and returning to, the piano; Hall Of Mirrors is a striking love letter to the instrument, and also to his adopted city of Berlin. But all these conceptual asides fade away beneath the main thrust: it's a truly bloody great record. Buy.

Album review: Mapstation – ‘My Frequencies, When We’: playful, immensely thoughtful tronica

  • February 22, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
My Frequencies, When We may not flaunt its wares with garish insouciance; but like so many of the albums that end up welded to your turntable, it keeps on enticing you back for more exploration, further interaction. It occasionally raises a grin and equally occasionally, an eyebrow; it's varied in its approach yet thoroughly cohesive. It's an immensely thoughtful record
