South Shields' finest return with their fourth (I think!) album, following on from Norman Records' fave 'Leaves'. Gradually their sound has become more and more organic which is particularly evident here. I'm finding what I'm hearing difficult to translate into words as things move very quickly, what with 19 tracks, sort of serving as vignettes of ghostly ambient, some modern classical flourishes, warm drones and crackly textures. I'm reminded of all sorts of stuff from The Caretaker, Stars Of The Lid, Loren Dent, Loscil etc. Some fine late night immersive listening to be found here. The cassette is limited to just 50 copies and the vinyl comes with a digital download.
"Beautiful" Stuart Maconie "Wonderful. . . I shall never forget that again" John Peel "Fantastic" The Wire "Perfectly charming, lush and stuttering out of the speakers" Record Collector "Absolutely incredible" Rob Da Bank Just when the plaudits were coming in for the self-titled debut album, South Shields trio d_rradio (“dee-arr-radio”) have leaped forward and stunned listeners with parts, their biggest release yet! d_rradio thrive on beautiful organic melodies and digital soundscapes, sounding like an absurd mix of the most joyous moments in your favourite late-night records and yet sound simultaneously like nothing else.On parts, expect earthly and serene elements, stark atmospheric drones from a primeval forest of crackle and hum; golden hues of evening; passages of ambient sparseness sprinkled with deft hints of the orchestral. . . and all the while the hiss of a hundred tired, well-loved 78s remains a constant thread, a tangible hook stirring nostalgia while simultaneously breaking new ground. This is not IDM; this music thinks, feels and oozes with humanity
