What we say
 This record left our emperor ming feeling happy.
Cheju: 'Hutton' (October Man) Is a 3" CD in an edition of 40. Piano led electronica with clicking percussion and synthesized strings make up this encouraging 4 track collection of vigenettes. Track three 'Moire' is likened to Aphex's 'Selected Ambient Works' by Mr Phil, which I think is largely due to the reverbed key refrains and sustained tones and washes that make up these dubbed-out sketches. Fans of modern classical will appreciate the held notes, purchasers of Danny Norbury's 'Dusk' CD on Static Caravan will hover on the drifting, serial movements.

"a rare but most satisfying event in our gaff is the occasional arrival of a spanking new release from the small but beautifully formed uk based october man recordings imprint. run by david newlyn this fledging label has been treading the micro minimalist cosmos of electronic ambience across over two dozen releases, each issued in ridiculously ultra limited (anything from between 30 to a 100) quantities with many barely making it out of the factory being sol on pre-order alone. to date featured acquaintances have seen outings for yellow 6, alkin engineering and of course october man (aka newlyn himself). first release of the year comes courtesy of cheju (wil bolton / boltfish) in the shape of the beautifully demurring and frail ‘hutton’. such is the prolific nature of bolton that we’ve spied several releases that have somehow passed us by - the most pressing ones being a split with shoosh for awkward silence along with a few quietly peppered appearances on compilations issued by the likes of interchill, gibbon envy and rednetic. as to ‘hutton’ - absolutely no idea how many of these are kicking about but based on previous october man releases its safe to say you better get off your backside sooner rather than later to avoid deep disappointment. four piano suites feature within ushering lonesome tides of introspection, stripped to a classically styled bare core these dainty night sky twinkling nuggets are delightfully uncomplicated, sparse maybe yet within that sparseness a rich fulsomeness delicately rises to the surface. sharing ground with inch time, bolton has excelled himself in crafting something truly touching with ‘hutton’ these igloo incantations softly flicker and pirouette within ether climes, all at once stark and spectral the set is touched with a unfailing sense of fragility and frailness with the parting nine minute ‘subside’ providing the releases centrepiece - a serenely meditative dream-scaping gem laced with the lull of ebbing and flowing looping drone montages. elsewhere there’s the softly snow trod tip toeing enchantment of the lilting canter like brontean glazed harpsichord follies of the porcelain title cut while the beguiling ‘moiré’ sounds for all the world like it should be back-dropping a pictures-esque artic scene by dawn break. endearing stuff indeed." - losing today, 01.08 |
