Listening Mirror – On The Passing of Chavela
CD, SaleVery nice limited edition CD that come in a fold out panel… ‘On The Passing of Chavela’ is a meditation on loss. The atmosphere continues to push and pull against itself as the music progresses. It’s very much in the spirit of South American ambient. It also feels feminine, sultry and as red-hot as her fiery spirit and red poncho she so famously adorned. The music is her love of tequila, and the trickling splash as it hit the bottom of the glass. The bottle tinkles against the glass in a melodic pool of liquor. Full of sensuality, and possibly a hint of lust, the Spanish guitar played soulfully on, accompanying her song. An absence of singing – via the voice – does not mean there is an absence of vocalisation. The dusty drone herself sings with a concealed spice that is only just vaguely scented on the Mexican streets, rising from the swirling clouds of drone. – Fluid RadioOriginal price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Offthesky / Man Watching The Stars – Afar, Farewell
CD, SaleLimited CD edition of 150 comes packaged in a gatefold card… Afar, Farewell is Offthesky joined by experimental violinist Brendan Paxton aka Man Watching the Stars for what is put simply one of the most breathtakingly moving albums we’ve ever released at Rural Colours. Unlike a lot of albums in the ambient genre this one is far from the usual background music with a variety of instrumentation and the disposition to engage in a more earthly, melodic, stucture. Afar Farewell supplies five gorgeous tracks of slowly evolving melody on a soft bed of processed guitar, molten strings and Offthesky’s deep and quirky signatures. What is most special about “Afar, Farewell” is its ability to enact this kind of ‘being-there’, of being in Nature, even if this turns out to be a kind of mythologised and yearned-for Nature rather than anything concrete. If our stories about the natural environment help make it what it is, then this release contributes to that process with a reverence and absorbed attention, turning high rises into pine trees and mountains into monuments. – Fluid RadioOriginal price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Sonnamble – Blindlight
CD, SaleInitially released in mid 2011, a remixed/remastered version is now available and sounds better than ever… Blindlight is the second release from London based electro-acoustic improvisers Sonnamble, again consisting of Conor Curran on electronics and software and Peter Marsh on stringed instruments. Again the focus is on Marsh’s lap steel guitar, whose drones, chords and twangs are coaxed into expansive ambient fuzziness or atomised into grains of noise by Curran’s home-cooked software patches. But there’s a spareness and a more pronounced spikiness to the music this time round; it’s still immersive tuff, but more edgy…Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Sonnamble – Seven Months In E Minor
CD, SaleSeven Months In E Minor is a record which unveils its profound beauty with great care, and requires a level on commitment to fully appreciate its depth. This said, the great ease with which Sonnamble arrange the various components at their disposal into consistent pieces and the deep level of understanding between the two musicians makes it a wonderfully enjoyable record. – themilkfactoryOriginal price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

CD, SaleAvailable for the first time on CD as a limited edition run of 222 copies: Includes photography by Danielle Baquet-Long, and design by Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek)… “I remember photos and negatives of sun-scorched Nepal scattered around the floor, notebooks written in randomly and seeming empty, and the evening lights of the outside night that seemed like they wouldn’t ever darken. We drove to Santa Ana over the 405 freeway to record the cars going by, but ended up watching the lights, buying whisky, and sitting the car listening to scratched Joanna Newsom CDRs and Eno’s Discreet Music. When the night was finally asleep and quiet, everything seemed still and the streets seemed dead, except for the swaying palm trees, and the glow from the kitchen light that was never turned off. Even the things that don’t exist anymore are still there, even if they aren’t apparent and obvious as much as they once were”.Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Steiner – I Remember How We Were Standing
CD, SaleComes in hand folded 4-panel chipboard, handstamped, with full-coloured booklet. Limited edition of 50… We were standing on Chesil Beach, the sound of the waves breaking on the pebbles was overwhelming. We hardly said a word. There was a house. I wondered how it would be living there. We were almost alone. I walked towards the water, which wasn’t easy with the loose shingle. It was quite steep where the water hit the beach and I tried not to imagine what would happen if someone, me, fell down. I looked at you from a distance and took a picture. It was out of focus. The water disappeared between the small stones. I walked back. I didn’t know what to say. There was only the salty air and the sound of the waves . Big clouds drifted towards the sea. A man with a fishing line walked between us. I didn’t know what to say. There was only the sound of the sea.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Kane Ikin – Sublunar
CD, SaleSublunar is the first full-length release from Kane Ikin who is also known as one half of the duo Solo Andata. Sublunar follows Kane’s solo debut Contrail (7”, 12k 2012) picking up where that EP left off and pushing the boundaries outward in every direction into denser, deeper, wetter and more decayed terrain. The word “sublunar” can be read to contain many conceptual layers important to the album. It is music about moonlight, darkness, the faintest hint of light and shadow…. Moons locked in orbit, repetition, gravity, weight, pressure… Subconscious, subliminal, distant, deteriorated signals, like radio waves lost in a noisy haze of transmission… and about dust, noise and oversaturation.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Stephan Mathieu – Coda
CD, SaleThe new CD-EP (clocking in at 20 minutes exactly) from Stephan Mathieu is a coda to A Static Place (2011, 12k), created with his highly focused setup of two mechanical-acoustic gramophones and computer. Coda (For WK) is dedicated to the legendary “quiet” pianist Wilhelm Kempff, whose 1927 recordings of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 26 Les Adieux from a double 12” 78RPM set on Brunswick were used as input for an autogenerative process. Mathieu’s process emphasizes the archaic beauty and texture of this early media while using the original tones for the body of this rich extended work that is both hypnotic and grainy; a journey into the essence of sound that can be appreciated on many levels. Mathieu has made this gramophone and computer setup a constant factor for his signature process of late and the work he produces becomes more deep and personalized with each release. The echoes of the past can be heard in these ghostly compositions and Mathieu’s love for not only the process but the original music is clearly seen in his passion for the work.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

CD, Sale
A Model Life brings Roman Bezdyk’s unique and ambitious style out to play again with instantly familiar loops, mid-bar trips and assorted quirk. Witchcraft and Pornography, the opening track to the album, sets off with an echolalic electric guitar riff, like Hendrix on a merry-go-round, while M’Ling introduces a spaghetti western-esque snippet that repeats catchily, like an over-caffeinated ear worm. Sone Institute offers a soundtrack to a world that doesn’t exist (and perhaps shouldn’t), as in The World is a Confusion, where 80’s electronic beats and honking psychodrama intermingle with a vocal that makes sure we know: ‘the world is confusion, a spiral drawn in the sand…’Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

The Doomed Bird of Providence – Will Ever Prey
CD, SaleRecounting stories from the dusty, obscure corners of colonial times, The Doomed Bird of Providence set off on an exploration of early Australian history, darkly probing its more abject and harrowing aspects. The resulting music is brooding, dramatic and heavily indebted to Ennio Morricone, Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and the English Folk Revival. Buttressed by accordion, ukulele, bass, guitar and violin, singer Mark Kluzek rants and laments the death and degeneracy of settlers and convicts alike in this hostile, unrelenting environment. The Doomed Bird of Providence shed light on obscure corners, to mythologise and empower previously hidden stories. And to bring forth all that is disturbing, mysterious and tragic. Will Ever Pray is their debut album – a meticulous creation cleaved from original historical source material, bringing to visceral life the forgotten stories of Australia’s earliest days, bathed in salt, blood and dark-deeds.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Evade – Destroy And Dream
CD, Deluxe, Sale16 x 16 x 0.6cm (Close size). 48.6 x 32cm broadsheet foldout with customized greyboard CD tray… “Losing the absurd, a beautiful haze, the sun and moon as usual, fluctuating into madness” Since 2008, artists such as Kitchen. Label’s very own ASPIDISTRAFLY (Singapore) and Flica (Malaysia) have ventured successfully to Japan, presented music made in the Asia Pacific to the rest of the world. Following in these footsteps, electronic trio Evade have been honing their repertoire of sounds crafted from within their immediate surroundings of the urban pastoral landscapes of former Portugese colony, Macau. In this much anticipated full-length album entitled “Destroy & Dream”, Evade takes on the view of a distant observer, questioning life, the earth, the universe and the values of its living creatures, yet with the consolation of dreams, seclusion and shelter. Evade was born in the summer of 2004. Formed by Sonia Ka Ian Lao (vocals), Brandon L (guitar) and Faye Choi (sound), the trio released their first EP “Evade” in September 2009. Despite the fact that it was released on a small Macau-based label, with the help of Kitchen. Label producer Ricks Ang (who also mastered the EP and this album), the band attracted critical notice in Japan for their inventive and original style of electronic music, described by some as a wayward blend of minimalist electronic and dubstep combined with an ethereal pop sensibility. In August 2010, Evade was invited by Japanese independent music label PROGRESSIVE FOrM to perform at their curated event “New Sounds of Tokyo Vol.6″. Evade has also toured Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, and Singapore, and has lent support to Kashiwa Daisuke, ASPIDISTRAFLY and Flica’s Asian tours.Original price was: £15.00.£10.00Current price is: £10.00. -

Simon Scott – Below Sea Level
CD, SaleSix panel digipak with gorgeous artwork… Below Sea Level is the first 12k release from seasoned musician and electronic sound artist Simon Scott. The inspiration behind Below Sea Level, including its music, title, artwork and photography (see accompanying journal) originally derives from Scott’s desire to musically explore the desolate and controversial environment of the Fens in East Anglia, UK. The memories Scott has of visiting this area as a child make this a poignant and highly personal project that explores nostalgic familiarity with a desire to capture the musicality of the landscape. For two years Scott ventured into this former wetland with hydrophones and self-built recording devices to explore the land that is cartographically below mean sea level, trace the devastating history of this environment caused by the drainage of the land, and arrange it into conceptual musical and visual project. Scott has, in the main, eschewed the guitar backbone of his previous releases, preferring instead to capture the timbres and textures of the landscape to form the basis for the seven tracks. His signature reverberated guitar does still surface, the beginning of the album begins with sparse finger picking reminiscent of Laughing Stock-era Talk Talk, but it only adds brief flickers of colour to the central field recordings throughout the album.Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

The Frisian poetry that is being read on several tracks is blended with the electronics and sampled sounds of these flat, sub sea level islands, and the spirits of a long founded and somewhat obscured pagan past. Settle in with your cup of supplied East Frisian Black Blend tea, and enjoy this melancholic and deep felt minimalistic ambiance!£10.00 -
