Luke Younger
Full Bloom

Alcoholic Narcolepsy #10

CD-R
£8.99


Solo album from Luke of Birds Of Delay that comes from as deep inside the epiglottis as Hiroshi Kawani and "Iron Man"-era Sabbath before moving into thin beams of flickering steel-filed brain-drilling that matches tiny ECG eruptions with the chatter of instant mechanical sculptures.

Birds of Delay
A Living Room At The Bottom Of A Lake

Nashazphone NP-04

LP
£16.99


Been a while since we heard from the duo of Luke Younger and Steve Warwick aka Birds Of Delay but this is a fine return, with subtle rainbow electronics, speaker phasing and minimal tonal fireworks generating a kind of nowhere zone between H-Pop, Kraut-inspired keyboard bliss and the ‘fluffier’ side of Matthew Bower’s Sunroof. A bunch of studio tracks bundled with a live trio assault recorded at the CCA in Glasgow where they’re joined by Taylor Richardson of Infinity Window. Edition of 240 copies.

Dreamcatcher
Nimbus

Oh No No 08

CD
£9.99


Almost Boyd Rice/Non levels of stuck vinyl fanfares and ominous, form devouring electronics from this great Montreal-based male/female hotwire duo that features Blake Hargreaves of Cousins Of Reggae alongside Katherine Kline, a team that previously laid a monster cassette via Olson's American Tapes imprint. The addition of some sick/squelchy casio beats and bass drum hits gives the whole thing a late-Throbbing Gristle/Suicide/Jessica Rylan/Chris Corsano feel while the general overloaded garbage/wuzz of the disc as a whole points firmly to their friendship with Nautical Almanac and at least a passing familiarity with boo. Recommended.
