Hood, Jasper Leyland, Various
Little Things

A Norman Records recommendation (19th March 2008)

This record left our Mingus feeling ecstatic.

Various Artists: 'Little Things' (Flau) An eighteen track odyssey from the popular Japanese imprint, collects tracks from a diverse company of artists and groups including: Jasper Leyland; Hood; Part Timer; F.S. Blumm; Cokiyu and The Boats amongst others. Leyland's crisp embers of light electronica, percussive ticks and gentle strum more or less sets the course for much of this well curated set. Throughout there's a calm contemplative aura that mixes vocals with a dab of reverb, pianos that accompany voices, low end rumble, clicks and cuts detritus and guitars that ring out amongst room sounds and real life chatter. A kind of a mid-way between the quiet-loud-quiet pop of Hood, lo-fi bedroom electronica, digital sound art, heartfelt singer songwriter modes and zen-like meditative hush-pop. Listen out for Maria Hansen's lush lullaby incantations on 'Shuffle Your Feet'. It's like rubbing the crap out of eyes in the morning, satisfying.
