More Wired - Wire Rewind 2018
Next up on the top fifty of the year. Number 7 to 15 - and includes the latest by LOW _ I love the Duluth trio!
7/ Senyawa - Tanggalkan Di Dunia
8/ Autechre - NTS Sessions
The veteran electronic duo no longer do things by halves. Following the mammoth elseq, and in advance of a 13 hour video uploaded to YouTube at the end of the year, NTS Sessions showcased the results of a live residency at the online London broadcaster in April, held over four two hour instalments – a listening experience as deep, dynamic and ambitious as anything they’d released to date. Steph Kretowicz said: ”As vast as this recording is, it’s even more astounding to imagine its position within Autechre’s 30-plus year career.” (January/419)
9/ Body/Heat - You Don't Need (album "The Switch")
10/ Low - Dancing And Blood
Responding to the outrages of Trump’s America, the trio known for their slow, quiet songwriting returned with an abrasive album loaded with amped-up bass and walls of distortion and rich lyrics of frustration and excoriation. Bill Meyer said: “Double Negative stands alongside Yo La Tengo’s There’s A Riot Going On as a painfully honest expression of what it’s like to live in a post-truth country and have to call it your own.” (October/416)
11/ Jerusalem In My Heart - Bein Ithnein
The third album* Daqa’iq Tudaiq) by the Montréal-Beirut duo of multi-instrumentalist/producer Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and filmmaker Charles-André Coderre distilled modern techniques and ancient traditions into a deeply moving work that spoke compassionately of concepts of belonging, fellowship and resistance. Maha El Nabawi said: “Radwan Ghazi Moumneh blends virtuosity with unbridled inventiveness in composition, songwriting and collaboration to create an evocative and richly referential body of work.
12/ Julia Holter - Aviary
13/ Proc Fiskal - Insular
14/ Oneohtrix Point Never - The Station
From his new album "Age Of"
15/ Tyshawn Storey - Pillars
The latest in an increasingly ambitious series of meetings of improvisation, free playing and composition, the three CDs of Pillars deployed a large electroacoustic ensemble to explore the cosmic imagination of the East Coast instrumentalist and composer. The year also saw Sorey settle into a new teaching role at Wesleyan University, an institution recently left by his one-time mentor Anthony Braxton. Stewart Smith said: ”Sorey creates a mosaic of independent, self-contained sections, or moments, replacing linear narrative with a polyvalent structure.” (January/419)
Enjoy.
