Fields Ohio- Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio – Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio

“Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire”

LINER NOTES

Bien que moins souvent à l’honneur dans nos pages que d’autres projets du New-Yorkais Eddie Palmer (citons Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult ou feu The Fucked Up Beat en plus de ses albums solo), ce duo plus acoustique et psyché qui l’associe à la multi-instrumentiste et vocaliste Christine Annarino fait preuve d’une belle constance depuis une dizaine d’années d’existence, avec une quinzaine de sorties au compteur, pour l’essentiel en long format.

Déjà auteurs cette année de l’excellent “Valkyrie”, typique de l’univers des Américains entre trip-hop mystique aux accents world music, downtempo-patchouli densément arrangé et touches electro hédonistes, on imaginait les Fields Ohio persister et signer dans leur admirable pré carré Ninja-Tunesque (de la belle époque) avec cette suite. Loin s’en faut ! Si “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” se décline au gré de la double-hélice d’un ADN désormais bien connu, il donne également l’occasion aux deux musiciens de se réinventer avec subtilité. Les rythmiques ici sont souvent plus feutrées, les textures plus oniriques et gorgées de reverb au diapason des nappes de synthés scintillantes d’Eddie, les lignes acoustiques et vocales de Christine fondues dans l’ensemble avec une homogénéité toute particulière, les mélodies presque serpentines et d’une fluidité qui évoque l’eau, élément omniprésent sur le disque.

Souvent inspiré par la contemplation de la rivière Hudson que surplombe son appartement new-yorkais ou par ses sorties au bord de l’océan, Eddie Palmer y trouve en effet matière à se concentrer sur le présent, autre thème central de l’album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” sonne ainsi comme un rappel à l’ordre que l’on se fait, dans ces moments de chaos que la vie nous réserve : affronter les problèmes un à un, un jour après l’autre, sans se préoccuper de trop d’un futur encore lointain et abstrait. Autant de sensations – ligne d’horizon, impermanence et abstraction – qui président à cette superbe collection d’instrumentaux au groove impressionniste et hypnotique.

ENGLISH VERSION

Although not featured in our website’s columns as often as other projects by New Yorker Eddie Palmer (including Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult or the late great The Fucked Up Beat, in addition to his solo albums), this more acoustic and psychedelic duo associating him with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Christine Annarino has shown great consistency over the span of its ten years of existence, with about fifteen releases so far.

After dropping earlier this year the excellent “Valkyrie”, representative of the band’s signature sound somewhere between mystical trip-hop with “world music” elements, densely arranged downtempo psychedelics and hedonistic electronic touches, we imagined that Fields Ohio would go on with that “great Ninja Tune era” trademark with its follow-up. Not exactly though ! Even if “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” remains consistent with that henceforth well-known DNA, it also gives the two musicians the opportunity to subtly reinvent themselves. The beats here are often more subdued, the textures more dreamlike and bursting with reverb in tune with Eddie’s scintillating synth pads, Christine’s acoustic and vocal lines melt into the whole with more homogeneity, and the melodies’ fluidity evoke water, an omnipresent element on the record.

The contemplation of the Hudson River from his New York apartment or his outings by the ocean indeed help Eddie Palmer to focus on the present, another central theme of the album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” thus sounds like a reminder, in these moments of chaos that life has in store for us: facing the problems one by one, one day after another, without worrying too much about a still distant and abstract future. So many sensations – the horizon, impermanence and abstraction – which preside over the impressionistic and hypnotic groove of this impressive new collection of instrumentals.

Reversed Bear Trap – Psionic Youth

Reversed Bear Trap

Reversed Bear Trap

“Psionic Youth”

This is the label debut of Reversed Bear Trap, a musical project that draws upon samples to blur the boundaries between mainstream pop and experimental noise music in order to explore what we can learn from sampling. Psionic Youth in particular blends pop rap, synthpop, techno, noise and black metal in a disorienting, chaotic blend that will hopefully at the very least make the listener smile as they recognize familiar sounds in new contexts.

Yasuko Ko

“Panda no shiiku nisshi”

Yasuko Ko (故やす子) manages in this “Panda Breeding Diary” (パンダの飼育日誌) to pull us back and forth in an act of creation that transcends us.

From Japan only good winds and excellent creators. The tracks — in which the titles are dates (March 25, July 16, October 22 and March 20) — tell us about a small odyssey between the time that insists on being late and the rush to get to the right place.

Electronics, samplers, and vocals combined over 4 tracks that will make your body move.

It’s on this trip that we meet Yasuko Ko, who calls himself Mathcore Vocaloid Producer and who presents succinctly and intensely on this MiMi record.

Travel occurs for many reasons, yet a true journey implies discovery. Inherently uncertain, ambiguity can cause fear – but also excitement. What is discovered when one goes beyond the realms of prior exploration?

Spirit of Gravity – A poem in six parts

Spirit of Gravity

Spirit of Gravity

“A poem in six parts”

This is our brave attempt to epitomise our first 21 years as a Brighton-based platform for out-there music and sound.The album kicks off with Alien Alarms’ spasming sequencer grid trying to overcome the bird like nature of Ieva Dubova’s free and defiant piano, moving into the hypnotic cycles of Ensemble 1, with side one being rounded out by Spirit of Gravity host and overlord McCloud with his Banksy sampling, drone and Casio soup.

Side 2 moves from the introspective minimalism of Andrew Greaves, to Spirit of Gravity founders This Sound Bureaucracy reminiscing on the psychohistory of the ‘Gravity, and ending up with Gun Boiler’s maths-as-mayhem banger.

Representing the range of what we do at SoG, from lurching breakbeats to free noise and many points in between, this album is a slice of our musical life.

Jazzaria – Suspend Disbelief

Jazzaria – Suspend Disbelief

Jazzaria

“Suspend Disbelief”

Beliefs keep us grounded – contrariwise, they imply possession of the opposing disbelief. But there are times where we should suspend both extremes, and allow ourselves to float in between belief and disbelief. Like sand in a shaker, our temporary defiance of ideational gravity can enable us to express things beyond our conscious imaginings.

Featuring orchestral strings, choir, piano, shakers, synthesizers, brushed drums, flute, and bass.
