DAVID IAN ROBERTS – Travelling Bright (Cambrian, 2019)* Vi è spesso un legame con il territorio e con l’idea del viaggio nella musica di artisti la cui espressione si fonda essenzialmente sulle vibrazione di corde acustiche. Nel caso di David Ian Roberts le due suggestioni ricorrono congiuntamente e inoltre convivono con un organico approccio compositivo,…

Taken from Droneflower, out April 26th via Sacred Bones. Droneflower is in bloom.

RICHARD ANDREWS – The Golden Fascination (Fabriq.fm, 2019)* C’erano una volta gli Uniform Motion, band creata in Francia dal songwriter inglese Andrew Richards, che a partire dal 2010 ha seguito un percorso di autoproduzione che l’ha condotta da un indie-folk fatto di pennellate delicate (in particolare nel delizioso “One Frame Per Second”, 2011) alla ricerca…
MULDUE – A Place Both Foreign And Familiar E.P. (Hush Hush, 2019) Tre, quattro e cinque tracce: è sempre breve, ma incrementale, la struttura dei tre Ep finora realizzati da Max Ramsden, con l’ultimo dei quali coincide anche la sua prima pubblicazione ufficiale sotto l’alias Muldue. Evidentemente influenzati dalla sua residenza nella countryside britannica, i…
[streaming] Calming River – Portrait Of A Shadow
Underground alt-folk songwriter Joshua Malcolm, aka calming river, has been losing a war against mainstream appeal for several years—occasionally a battle is won and someone recognizes the depth of the murky undercurrent—but typically Malcolm’s work is tossed in the ‘abstract’ category for a rainy day. Intricate fingerstyle guitar, often disconsolate lyrics, constant guitar re-turnings between…

THE WORLD OF DUST – Samsara (Tiny Room / Hidden Shoal, 2019)* Era quasi inevitabile che la scrittura intimista di Stefan Breuer incontrasse le ambientazioni sonore di Todd Tobias; i percorsi dei due artisti si erano infatti più di una volta incrociati, avendo l’etichetta di Breuer curato la pubblicazione europea di alcuni degli ultimi dischi…
