Spoiler alert: I got my hands on Predawn’s new mini-album A Bird In The Hand and will most likely have review of it in the near future. Further revelations – it’s a good and minimalist album, nothing but pretty singing and guitars save for the rare piano appearance. It’s a nice little album but also the kind of release really hard to think critically about because it’s just so…simple. Like, you wouldn’t need to deconstruct a leaf or a roast beef sandwich in order to figure out why those things are good. Same goes for Predawn’s latest. Yet I’ll try to complicate the easy the best I can.

A video for initial standout track “Suddenly” has found it’s way to the Internet. Ms. Predawn herself goes for a stroll in a cartoon forest and meets some animate friends, including a bird and some livestock. A cute vid, not to mention a good chance to hear A Bird In The Hand’s best track.

  • Transitory Splendor: Submerse’s “Algorithms And Ghosts”

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    It is a soundtrack made for commuting between different places in large urban spaces, filled by swarms of people shoaling and funneling across intersections, subway stations and central hubs like corpuscles pulsating in the cities veins, conducted by invisible algorithms in the symbiotic superorganism that is a metropole. とは、Submerseによる自身がリリース予定の新EP、Algorithms And Ghostsの解説。人の多い忙しい街を行き来する時に聴いてほしいとの事。 初めて東京に訪れた人は誰でもきっとわくわくするはず。ネオンは四六時中光り輝き、人々は止まる事なく地下鉄を乗り換えて行きます。入り組んだ街並みからは、きっと路地裏やビルの陰に色々な物が隠されているに違いない、と思いますよね。でもそんな感情も長く住むにつれ薄れていく気がします。アパートを借りたとたんに、どこにでもある街へと突如変貌する恐れも。 Submerseというアーティストはイギリス出身で、今は日本に住みつつ、日本の首都”東京”から影響を受けたという新EP、Algorithms And Ghostsを準備しています。タイトル・トラックによると、彼はまだこの街からインスパイアされ続けてるみたいです！Burialがこの街を寂しい孤独な場所として表現しているのとは正反対で、Submerseの“Algorithms…
