  • March 11, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
DRAGON WELDING; a great name, redolent of fire and the elements, of flicker and sulphur, things made and remade in heat. A great name. And once you learn it’s the…

EP REVIEW: Głós – ‘Swimming In Colors’: monumental ambience from Affin

  • March 11, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Głós' first EP for Affin is three whole different, astonishingly enveloping sound worlds. Let's hope he records an album in this vein; it'd wipe the floor with your consciousness. Intelligent ambience with incredible design and edge, it's one hell of an opening statement for an artist to make for his new home

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.
