Hello.
Just thought I'd recommend the new Sneakster 'Splinters EP'. It
appears to be a Clifford side-project (assuming he still intends to
record as Disjecta and produce Mira Calix).
I just happened to hear it in the record store I work at the other
day, thought, "Hmm, this sounds a bit Seefeel-ish," and snapped it up.
I only just looked at the inlay a few minutes ago and noticed Mark
Clifford's name on there.
Full details:
artist :: sneakster
title :: splinters ep
label :: bella union
cat :: bellacd11
tracks :: 1. splinters (4m49s)
2. fragment (2m36s)
3. twisted (5m06s)
4. broken (5m28s)
Overall, interesting stuff. Definitely one for Seefeel fans. It's not
as noisy or complex as Disjecta or Mira Calix, but it's still a lot
darker and melancholic than Seefeel. The sound textures are perhaps a
bit more straightforward and not as experimental -- don't go expecting
anything radical here. It's still very intriguing and hypnotic though.
An LP, 'Pseudo Nouveau' will be out on June 7th (same day as
Autechre's 'EP7'). Robin Guthrie plays on a few tracks.
If you have trouble getting hold of these Sneakster releases, try
ordering them direct from Bella Union's web site.
