Listen "Abandoned/Disremembrance/Monorails"
Episode Synopsis
This week’s episode features three albums from the Bumpfoot netlabel.
Abandoned mixes sampling, electronics, and ethnic percussion into music that is reminiscent of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Based on a set of photographs taken in Vanatau in 2014, this EP (one wishes it were longer!) “…explores abandoned places and their broken dreams. The fractured beauty of abandoned places can tell wonderful narratives.” The artist is Timeofhex (Cissi Tang), and this is (so far) her only available release.
Second up is Kevin Bryce’s Disremembrance, a more traditional electronica album covering a wide range of styles, from Boards-of-Canada-like dreaminess to Berlin School sequencer pulse. It’s a concept album, tracing the life of a young boy, from walking at night in a field, to grown up to be an astronaut, and launching into space.
Last is Tracy Chow’s Music for Monorails, an intriguing shoegaze/electronica mix; its ambient roots are a nod to Eno’s Music for Aitports.
This episode is a bit shorter, but the three albums fit together so well that I didn’t feel that shoving in another unrelated fifteen minutes would really make things better. Enjoy!
