Recorded in high summers and brutal winters in 2022 and 2023, Nightingale Floor’s debut album Five Stagings takes the listener through a quintet of spontaneously conjured and patiently crafted pieces for a quartet of musicians scattered across North-West England.

Manchester-based Poet Lauren McLean provides voice and words, joined by cellist Josh Horsley of Preston duo Powders, Benjamin D. Duvall of Liverpool four-piece Ex-Easter Island Head on sound collages, strings and trombone, with Tombed Visions label head David McLean on saxophones, keyboards and Bass VI.

Born from long form improvisation, Nightingale Floor use Lauren’s transportive poems as the focal point in a series of ‘staging's’: words, textures and musical gestures built up like the painted backdrops of a theatre stage, casting the bare interior of a Mancunian garage as a sequence of vivid dream-like tableaux. Text and voice illuminate these five pieces with evocations of interior life against wide open spaces, weather and water, the rural and the industrial, animals and talismans. Sonically, the music draws on 4th world experimentation, musique concrète, jazz and chamber music. Stark Northern gothic and languid tropical heat.

Five Stagings is a record imprinted with the weather it was recorded in: from a freezing, breath fogged winter session to blazing 34-degree summer heat. Music of stillness, secrecy and brooding tension, with the group's unhurried approach to mixing and arranging allowing each piece to bear its own distinct set of parameters, characters and atmosphere. Music as footprints crossing the mind’s imagined landscapes.

A me questo è piaciuto molto. Un disco che si fa scoprire piano piano, ma che sembra restare

segnalo il nuovo disco di Avalon Emerson. Il precedente a me era piaciuto davvero molto

Sto godendo parecchio con il nuovo disco di Antropoceno:

"“No Ritmo da Terra” is the second chapter from a trilogy of albums inspired in the work of Ailton Krenak. Articulating the “Ancestral Future” as an aesthetic project, the album incorporates Ailton’s philosophy through its sound design, manipulating Brazilian Folk Music elements and field recordings from the Amazon rainforest with futuristic electronic techniques from genres like Post-Rock, Glitch and Avant-Garde Metal. With lyrics in Portuguese, Tupi and Yoruba, the album recontextualizes Candomblé and Capoeira chants through an idiossyncratic sound palette developed to create a dialogue between ancestrality and futurism.

As an imediate need in the face of climate change and other end of the world omens, the Ancestral Future challenges antropocentric views of the world that conceive humanity as an organism separate from the body of Earth. Through the recovery of resistance technologies developed by the cultures that remained attached to the planet as a necessity of survival from the erasure of subjectivities in the colonial process, “No Ritmo da Terra” promotes an ontological realignation with nature."

L'album l'ho ascoltato ed è effettivamente bello. Non solo PJ, ci ho sentito dentro lo spirito di Cat Power e certi passaggi di Anna Calvi (ma meno "barocco").
Da sostenere
