Between You And The Shapes You Take is the second collaborative album by Richmond based musician/sound artists Stephen Vitiello and Molly Berg. As with the duo’s previous release, The Gorilla Variations (12k2013, 2009), tracks are created out of improvisations and sculpted through editing. Molly Berg’s clarinet and vocalizations tend to cover the CD’s lyrical content while Vitiello’s guitar and processing covers a good deal of the textures. Two of the tracks on the CD feature violin by the multi-talented Hahn Rowe, once a member of the group Hugo Largo.

There’s an immediate air of melancholy and longing to a number of the tracks. An initial demo recording for the album was remarked on by a listener who said “I’ve fallen face first into a machine that erases the memories of an ended relationship as if it were a sound instead of a real life that fell in love with the girl again in the end.” A strange amount of truth exists in that statement and the entirety of it was momentarily considered as the album title. Instead, Between You And The Shapes You Take is a borrowed quote from Wallace Stevens’ poem The Blue Guitar.

As for the recording process, Vitiello writes: “Things tend to go best when Molly and I don’t speak beforehand or plan anything for the recording beyond a time to meet and to begin. We’ll play for as long as we can and generally find that the beginnings and endings are implied in the performance. Where the last album was recorded in my office at school with all of our equipment balanced precariously on my desk, this one was in a proper studio. It allowed for more isolation and let us take advantage of quieter instruments such as the acoustic guitar and Molly’s slide whistles and found pieces of percussion.” The final track on the CD is the only one that was recorded separately. It’s actually a re- construction of that fated recording that potentially contains the machine that erases memories.

Scattered Into Light is the Mush debut from the Luxembourg based electronic act, Sun Glitters. The eleven-track album remains true to the glitchy r&b and deep tech-house sound that has blasted Sun Glitters into the consciousness of electronic music fans over the last two years. Stuttering beats and wobbling synths are soft-focused through a sun-bleached lens in a way that will appeal to synth-pop, ambient, and dustup fans in equal measure. Scattered Into Light is the first Sun Glitters release to completely integrate a vocalist, as Italian ingenue Sara Cappai lends her talents to over half the tracks. The result is awash with star-gazing melodies, bubbly bass, and textured beats that give equal nod to house and hip-hop. Scattered Into Light is an wonderful release and makes a compelling case for Sun Glitters as an artist on the verge.

Quality: 320 kbps
Size: 35 mb
Genre: Electronic

Tracklist:
01. Closer To The Sun
02. Closer To The Sun (Moon Bounce Remix)
03. Closer To The Sun (Teeel Remix)
04. Closer To The Sun (Botany Remix)

“Closer To The Sun” is the haunting first single from the new Sun Glitters album, Scattered Into Light. The original features Italian vocalist Sara adding her etherial magic to an electronic production as cuttingly beautiful as anything Sun Glitters has released. Moon Bounce completely changes the mood of the track with a synthesized chord progression that re-imagines a forties pop-ballad as produced by a Prince protege. Teeel builds a New Order inspired electronic dance remix that focuses on the Siouxsie & The Banshees timber in Sara’s vocal delivery. Botany raps up the single with an eerie breakbeat laden remix that twists and turns the vocals into just another instrument.

With allegiances that spread as far and wide as the ambient post-rock, UK free improv and Norwegian avant-noise scenes, the duo Glockenspiel are a perfect example of just how much these subgenres of contemporary creative music have in common. On Glockenspiel’s new album Dupleix, guitarist Adrian Dollemore and drummer Steve d’Enton send these apparently diverse areas of experimental underground music into a fresh liaison, connecting them with the kind of energy and spirit associated with the outer limits of both compositional and improvised music. Both musicians have a background in the UK free improv scene, playing extensively with saxophonist Tony Bevan as well as Paul Rutherford and the young, internationally acclaimed contemporary jazz pianist Matthew Bourne. Released on the Babel Label, the second Glockenspiel recording is a spooky sweet slab of electric drone effects-jazz, Sonic Youth-like guitar and hypnotic post-rock and krautrock rhythm.

8. Sign Language (8:19)
9. At Night at Home (8:18)

After releasing two highly acclaimed remix 12″s earlier this year, Red Stars Over Tokyo now delivers the hauntingly beautiful Melody Attack album. A double gatefold, mastered to subtle perfection by Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin, RSOT delves even further into his own unique mix of the subtly trancey, emotionally driven and understated forward motion of his previous productions. As always, his tracks have an undeniable song quality, the emotions within referencing the small and mundane, whilst the inspiration behind often references a so-called bigger picture. The whole album fades in and out of focus and attention, giving its different parts room to breathe and develop. Somewhere in there, there’s a a downsized cover version of Fra Lippo Lippi’s song ‘Sense of Doubt’—its stylistic minimalism a perfect counterpart to RSOT’s ambitions. ‘Melody Attack’ is RSOT’s own dark, elegiac version of what, for sake of simplicity, could be called 90’s IDM or Ambient Techno. His is an appealing darkness that does not forbid the sun to shine through. Its sense of isolation is filled with compassion for the one isolated. This is post-dancefloor music for post-dancefloor use. An ambitious, purposely ambiguous musical stream of consciousness that never cuts ties with its past, but offers a new and intricately organized perspective that makes it modern to a tee.

Maps and Diagrams – the solo project of Tim Martin. To date an enviable back catalogue with releases for such respected sound houses as Static Caravan, Unlabel, Expanding, Smallfish, Awkward Silence and Handstitched* – the latter of which he runs.

One of the finest ambient alchemists in the sphere of modern electronic music, Maps and Diagrams blend delicately formed sound sculptures upon a minimalist ambient palette that are all at once shy, tender, fragile and beguiling.

The release – recorded earlier this year at the Circle Studio. In Circles is Maps and Diagrams second suite for Time Released Sound. Described by its author as his ‘most musical’ opus to date it features a guest appearance by Spain’s I am Dive on the parting Yesterday. Combining frosted hymnals, forlorn lullabies and celestial mirages; In Circles is richly textured and delicately spun.

In Circles will appear in two formats – a strictly limited edition cork digipak hand finished in antique wallpaper and a standard digipak issue. [Time Released Sound, October, 2013].

An Expensive Vase is the first of several scheduled albums by Media Them at Recycled Plastics. The sound of Media Them is a unique blend of warm atmospherics and organic rhythms – electronic music reduced to the simplest of loops, repeating infinitely. It is both minimalist and maximalist at once, as Media Them’s composition lies not in the makeup of these loops, but rather, the size of the window we’re glimpsing them through. Small breaths of melody, heart flutters of bass, snare and hi hat and the coziest bedroom production give way to expanding universes of color and sonic exploration without end. Did that sound just repeat one more time than it did before? Was that other sound even playing since the start of the track? Media Them beckons you to refocus your ears and get lost in a beautiful hypnosis of music and mind.

Following his acclaimed 2010 debut “The Muse in the Machine” [Tympanik Audio], Lost + Directionless is a project years in the making. A decisive continuation of the musician’s haunting body of work, Lost + Directionless is his most cerebral and ambitious project to date. An album which strikes the delicate balance between form and formlessness. Between nostalgia, and a crumbling, decaying vision of the not-too-distant future.

Through Candle Nine’s ever-evolving style, from his early performances as a singer-songwriter, to his bloom into electronic music, he has become adept at exploring the contrasts of beauty and dissonance. Candle Nine’s use of glitched-out synths, multi-layered guitar assaults and harsh, yet nimble, percussions creates an atmosphere which is both eerie and serene.
