One of two new releases from Brian Pyle (the other being ‘Interval Signals’), Light That Comes is a rich exploration of Ensemble Economique’s range and power. With a palpable sense of the sublime throughout, the listener is guided through drones like the pillars and buttresses of a cathedral for a sombre new religion, into the sounds of the ocean (somehow elegiac), flute tones springing up in the fog like gravestones, and fallen kosmische. These are followed by the wonderfully odd ‘As the Train Leaves Tonight,’ a version of Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’ produced from within the shadow universe, featuring crashing waves of reverb, staccato chords and tommy-gun drums. Similarly, ‘Radiate Through Me’ is a shoegazy torch song of sorts, sluggishly drifting along on beams of spectacular light. The brilliantly unique continuum between drone and pop traversed here makes ‘Light That Comes’ a key listen.

Brian Pyle is becoming a big name in disquieting ambient and haunted audio, and two new releases (this and Light that Comes, Light that Goes) from him this week aptly explain why. Interval Signals is an enticingly evocative story, a single-take journey through a series of interiors and exteriors spaces layered with memories and geographies. Melancholy like an old crime scene, its mixture of ancient broadcasts, echoes trapped in the dusty twentieth-century telephone network, spiritualistic tuned percussion and stumbling Romantic piano with strongly emplacing sounds and field recordings both suggestive and bewildering. This will interest those who know what Leyland Kirby, The Focus Group and Infinity Frequencies know, but it also hints at artists like Mike Nelson and filmmakers like Abbas Kiarostami, and really creates a setting that ventures beyond the usual metaphors of mournful archaism. Gently profound and highly recommended.
