Alberta Aureli per TRISTE©

In uscita il dodici marzo 2022 per Plus Timbre, The Fourth Rift, il quinto lavoro di Elnath Project – progetto solista di Alessandro Ciccarelli – ripropone l’esperienza immersiva di un live-set acustico e performante, esplora l’universo sonoro generato da radio a basse e bassissime frequenze, mischia interferenze ambient e ricerca restituendo all’imprevisto il compito della composizione.
Et voilà – come direbbe Paul Auster – The Music of Chance.

A volte è opportuno cedere la parola direttamente all’artista. E così abbiamo deciso di fare qualche domanda direttamente a Alessandro Ciccarelli.

Ibisco – Nowhere Emilia

Francesco Giordani per TRISTE©

Viviamo di notte nell’ora più buia
Guardando le case di chi non lavora
E c’è una regione che ti assomiglia
E tutta la tua religione è finta
Qua dormire soli è comunque vita che passa via

Mi rendo perfettamente conto che la situazione internazionale è a tal punto cupa da non permettere di ascoltar la musica prediletta a cuore troppo leggero, soprattutto in questi ultimi infiammatissimi giorni, sempre sfiorati dal terrore di un baratro irreversibile.

(Make Me a) TRISTE© Mixtape Episode 59: Under The Bridge (part 1)

Under the Bridge (Skep Wax, 2022)

Bristol’s Sarah Records was a defiantly independent record label. Feted by many – if hated by some – it has been increasingly recognised as a seminal label which, during its short lifetime in the 1990s, created a whole scene around itself. While the label has long since closed its doors, and eschews re-releases, the bands on Sarah – or at least their members – have kept on creating perfect pop music. Under The Bridge is an extraordinary reunion, showcasing new material by fourteen of them. Many are British, but others hail from as far afield as Sydney, Victoria, California and Arizona. There are some names you’ll recognise: The Orchids, The Wake, Even As We Speak, Secret Shine, Boyracer, St. Christopher. In many cases, their line-ups are relatively unchanged. Then, there are newer groups, where different line-ups have evolved: Jetstream Pony and The Luxembourg Signal (both ex-Aberdeen), The Catenary Wires and Tufthunter (both ex-Heavenly), Soundwire (ex-The Sweetest Ache), Leaf Mosaic (ex-Sugargliders), Sepiasound (ex-Blueboy) and Useless Users (ex-Action Painting/Secret Shine).

We love Constant Follower so much, you know. And we loved their debut album Neither Is, Nor Ever Was, which came out in 2021 on Shimmy Discs.
We talked about them a lot, we shared their music, their videos and their mixtape (which was a labour of love from them to us).

Now the Scottish band launched a Crowdfounding to get to SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas and shared a new 42 minutes video made by Scottish filmmaker Sean Hall. The Video, made to accompany Constant Follower’s full album Neither Is, Nor Ever Was was shot in and around Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute in the west of Scotland.
Watch it. It’s a beaut!

Lightning In A Twilight Hour – The Circling Of The Seasons

The Band: The Field Mice was Bobby Wratten’s first band. They began as a duo formed by himself on guitar and vocals, and Michael Hiscock on bass. They were school-friends from Mitcham, and released their first single (Emma’s House) on Sarah Records in 1988. Later they expanded to a five-piece (adding Harvey Williams – Another Sunny Day – on guitar, Annemari Davis on vocals/keyboards, and Mark Dobson on drums) and recorded six more singles and four albums, with influences from early Factory bands such as New Order and The Wake, early Creation and dance and ambient fields. When The Field Mice split, Bobby’s new project was Northern Picture Library, involving Annemari and Mark. They recorded two singles and an album for Vinyl Japan, and then returned to Sarah for their final two 7”s, Paris and Last September’s Farewell Kiss.
