William Fields - quube

The limits of control. Turning the idea of 'limit' on its head - taking it as a generative, rather than a destructive approach. A dream that - if impossible to reach in human societies - has its natural space in algorithmic artistic practices. Here, paths can be created, drawn and followed on the borders of control - lines of code, functions, variables. William Fields' latest EP, quube - to appear in April 2024 on SØVN Records - traces pathways through this dream in four pieces that were recorded with the attitude of a dancer rather than that of a composer: following and constantly reinterpreting the performative flow. The music in quube, drawing from a relatively restricted palette of simple waves and minimal processing, is often exciting - conveying an urgency similar to the one which is felt in a free improv concert. It is not surprising, then, to learn that the four pieces were recorded as a live take, with no editing or overdubs. The flow of sounds becomes almost playful in its enthusiastic impatience, eager to cross the limits of control only to bounce back for another unexpected dance step. William Fields is an electronic musician from Philadelphia, USA, working from 30 years at the intersection between algorithmic composition and improvisation. His music has been described by the legendary Richard Devine as “some of the most mind-blowing algorithmically generated music I'd ever heard” and has been published by - among others - SUPERPANG, tokinogake, EVEL, 3OP.

A Certain Ratio continue their late-career renaissance with new album It All Comes Down To This out today on Mute, with nods to every stage of their musical journey

It All Comes Down to This, for now at least, is the sound of the current incarnation of A Certain Ratio. Indeed, in many senses, it is the purest distillation of their essential sound ever committed to tape. Their thirteenth studio album, it is the first time ever they have recorded strictly as the core trio of principle band members – multi-instrumentalists Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson. From the moment the rattling, call-to-arms drumroll intro of opener ‘All Comes Down to This’ gives in to a wall of slithering, watery guitar squawks and bounding, rubbery bass notes, it is obvious that A Certain Ratio have once again been able to tap into a new artery of life. The record’s ten tracks present ten distinct moods, from the urgent, muscular, foreboding groove of ‘Keep It Real’ to the open, breezy, melodic synth of ‘God Knows’, every bursting moment of It All Comes Down to This is defiantly, resiliently alive. The essential difference between It All Comes Down to This and its immediate predecessors is that for this recording process, the band turned to the doyen of contemporary underground rock producers, Dan Carey (Black Midi, Kae Tempest, Black Country New Road). After meeting at the 2021 Wide Awake Festival in London, they found that Carey was even more eager to realise a full-length collaboration than they were, and the dates were quickly set. Known for his rejection of sonic clutter and his uncompromising focus on the central tenets of the bands and artists he produces, Carey’s instincts closely aligned with ACR’s desire to return to the basics. What the band might not have been ready for, however, was quite the speed that Carey intended to work at. If there is a residual darkness in the album’s sonic aesthetic, then it pervades the subject matter, too. As a snapshot of where A Certain Ratio stand in 2024, It All Comes Down to This is a towering testament to their staying power. For a band whose path has intersected with the lives of Joy Division, The Fall, Talking Heads, Madonna and Grace Jones, to now be immersed in their most creative and prolific period since the early 1980s, after 45 years together, puts the great majority of their contemporaries to shame. But then again, when you have always been preoccupied with laying the groundwork for your next steps, you’re unlikely ever to derive much satisfaction from standing still.  All instruments played by Johnson, Kerr and Moscrop Additional Trumpet on We all need: Jamie Beardmore Additional Clapping on Keep it Real and Out from Under: Nando from Bravi Ragazzi Pizza and Sophya from the alley

Glass Beams - Mahal - Melbourne trio is solidly in the "RIYL Khruangbin" vein, but livelier

The genesis for the Melbourne-based trio, which formed around founding member Rajan Silva, was through the rekindling of childhood memories relating to his father, who emigrated to Melbourne from India in the late 1970's. Silva recalled watching a DVD on repeat with his father; ‘Concert for George’, a star-studded tribute to late Beatles member George Harrison performed at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2002, featuring legendary Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar with daughter Anoushka, alongside Western icons Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and ELO’s Jeff Lynne. This intersection of musical styles was reflected in the record collection of Silva's father, where the sounds of iconic Bollywood vocalists Asha Bhosle and the Mangeshkar lineage sat alongside music from blues legends like B.B. King and Muddy Waters. In particular, Silva was drawn to the fusion of Western musical styles and traditional Indian music; a concept pioneered by Indian artists like R.D. Burman, Ananda Shankar, and fraternal duo Kalyanji-Anandji. This cross-pollination of East and West, of old and new, is a sentiment that the band have sought to capture in their self produced works. Across their output, Glass Beams presents a timeless fusion of cultures and sounds beamed through a prism of live instrumentation and DIY electronica, all wrapped up inside a mesmerizing and mystical visual world of their own making. In the wake of the unexpected success of their debut release and an abundance of festival invitations, Glass Beams were amplified around the globe performing hypnotic renditions of the 'Mirage' EP alongside an additional 20 minutes of unreleased music. Early clips of these “unreleased tracks” quickly began circulating online garnering millions of views and a fast-growing and ever-hungry following. As 2023 drew to a close and the dust settled after a whirlwind of touring, Glass Beams retreated to their home studio to record this much anticipated 20 minutes of music. They have named the record 'Mahal'.

D Rothon - Lonesome Echoes (Awful Lonesome edition) - expanded download edition of his Clay Pipe 3" CD release

The origins of its name lost in the mists of time, the village of Lonesome emerged in the 19th century from the swampy, isolated lands between Streatham Vale and Mitcham Common. By the early 1900s intrepid reporters were already speculating on whether the place was mere myth. The intervening years saw the rapid rise and fall of Lonesome. Its prospects as a desirable place to live were compromised by the combined fragrances of piggeries plus chemical, fireworks and gas mantle factories – which would undoubtedly have overpowered the sweeter aromas from the nearby lavender fields of Mitcham. It also gained a reputation as a haunt of footpads, vagabonds and cutpurses. A failed development by one “Squire Blake” of aspirational middle class villas – which became known as Blake's Folly – helped cement Lonesome’s reputation as a ghost town. Now long subsumed into suburbia, aside from the odd street and building name little trace remains of Lonesome. Tracks 2, 6, 8 and 10 were issued as an EP by Clay Pipe Music. The remaining tracks are also taken from the Lonesome-inspired sessions. David Rothon: Omnichord, pedal steel, theremin, keyboards, Bentley Rhythm Ace, digital drum programming, acoustic, electric, baritone and bass guitars, Stylophone, percussion, Indian harmonium, harmonica, melodica, banjo Special thanks to… Ed Deegan: drums on tracks 3 and 6 Johanna Warren: flute on tracks 8 and 9 Artwork by Frances Castle (as featured on the original Lonesome Echoes CD)

Cars From the Future - 2 - this electronics/saxophone duo gets a bit skronky at times

Following their inaugural release in September 2023, this second album from Cars From The Future accelerates into the red, with its more intense jazz infused grooves, electronic wonkiness and searing saxophone melodies. 9 tracks once again made remotely between 2 drivers, working at high speed to make something that regular takes sharp handbrake turns and chaotic doughnuts. Hover the chassis is strong in this one, never letting the record leave the road, and tunes often have catchy hooks and powerful breaks. Andrew Spackman, (SAD MAN, The Dark Jazz Project) and Saxophonist Richard Davies.
