I tell you what, the packaging on this CD is lovely! Preservation have done up Pimmon's Smudge Another Yesterday in a right origami-fest that folds out from its modest CD sized beginnings into a wall-obliterating giant poster of doom, but as nice as it is I can't help thinking that I'd probably end up ripping it in half five minutes after taking it home. At least I'd be left with the music which is highly intriguing in its own right, ranging from the fuzzy ambience of what sounds like Fennesz summoning a Gregorian chant sample through his magic pickups to the fuzzy ambience of what sounds like Alva Noto glitching himself off inside the TV from Poltergeist to the fuzzy ambience of what sounds like a less doomy and theatrical Sunn O))) tooting each other's mucky oboes in a Japanese forest. The whole package has a little bit of a 'sound art' feel to it but the album couldn't be further away from the dull sonic wallpaper that word often describes, in fact this is some of the most engrossingly atmospheric stuff I've heard in quite a while.. Some of it's reminding Brian a little of Grouper and I can totally see where he's coming from. Get 'em in!

What their label says...

Pimmon has collaborated with Fennesz, Oren Ambarchi and Kid606, has previously recorded for Fat Cat and
Tigerbeat6. First full-length for an Australian label. The Preservation label presents Smudge Another Yesterday
from Sydney’s Pimmon. Pimmon is the alias for electronic composer Paul Gough. In the last decade, Pimmon has
forged an international reputation for creating dense, challenging and engaging electronic music. Smudge Another
Yesterday is Pimmon’s first full length release in five years. This release picks up and goes further from the point
where the acclaimed Secret Sleeping Birds left off. Smudge Another Yesterday is an exploration of the song behind
the noise; the secret whispers hidden in the static. Within these vast and spacious works are endless fragments
shaped and distended into magnetic states of subtle movement and pulse. From beautiful, foreboding pieces sung
by hidden choirs to crackling, lava-flow like ambience, the mood swings of Smudge Another Yesterday are steeped
in bristling commotion and stirring intimacy. It is a startling return from an individual and distinct artist. Smudge
Another Yesterday was mastered by renown Italian composer Giuseppe Ielasi. Pimmon has collaborated with other
celebrated artists of his field - including Fennesz, Oren Ambarchi and Keith Rowe - and has recorded for various
labels around the world including Tigerbeat6 and Fat Cat. This is his first full-length album for an Australian label.
