I quite recently came across a remix album by Tommy Perman entitled Emergent Slow Arcs, which is an aural resculpting of Welcome Strangers (2018), the second long playing release by Scottish band, Modern Studies. I was very taken with the Perman album and wondered what the band sounded like under normal circumstances. A brief piece of research led me to their debut LP (as we used to say), Swell To Great (2016) and it really is. This is a great recording that sort of sounds a bit like Low making a new soundtrack for The Wicker Man, if you know what I think I might mean. It's been spinning here at Rickety Rackety Towers pretty much non-stop in the last day or so. Below is 'Dive-bombing' from said debut.

I was immediately intrigued by your description "...a bit like Low making a new soundtrack for The Wicker Man..." and I think I do know what you think you mean! I rather like this for the way it doesn't quite do what you expect either. And enjoyed the accompanying film!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure 'Dive-bombing' best represents the sound I was alluding to but it's great anyway. Glad you liked it, C, and thanks for popping over and commenting.
DeleteIt's just lovely to see you back, RR.
