...according to our Phil on 12 November 2009.

We've got a cute 3" CD in on the excellent Hibernate label this week by Simon James French (I accidentally wrote Frenchy then and though it was funnier it may seem rude to a number of different people). Here we have a cute 3" Cds in a trifold nipple pack which is packaged inside a white sealed mini envelope with the word Anthem emblazoned on it. And the reason that word is flashed upon the cover is because that is indeed the name of this sparkly 5 track EP. The first track is total blissful ambient drone music... the likes of which have been gracing the site for a while now. The rest of the EP delves into a bit more of that along with some celestial sounding drone, some weird experimental sound art noisey things and some field recordings (I think they're field recordings...). It's very textured and very lovely and there's 100 for the world so don't cock about for too long or you'll miss the boat and have to swim.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Simon James French is a sound artist currently based in London, UK. His work is increasingly involved in the art of field recording but often transcends the gap between phonography and sound design. Interested in cross-media work, Simon's work often contains field recordings, synthesis, and live electronics.
Heavily inspired by the compositional techniques of Gyorgy Ligeti, Simon's first release Anthem is full of dynamic movement and heavy textures that, in its entirety make for an ever changing body of work that invites the listener to fall headlong into this world of sinuous, melodic drones, evocative motifs and cleverly incorporated real-world sounds.
