Comment: Wales is a great soil for outstanding personae and musical groups like John Cale, Super Furry Animals, and Gorky`s Zygotic Mynci. John Cale as a producer and musician was an influential innovator within the rock scene, the latter ones were beatific glimpses at the time of Britpop. By the way, the groups sang in their native Cymric language as well while exploring experimental tendencies within the indie and indie folk scenes. Broken Moods For House Kites is the solo project of Cardiffian Marc Davies and There There, Their Not is the debut album by him. Musically it merges airy synthesised progressions with light guitar/string chords and volatile orchestrations and gentle rhythmic flickers with one another while sustaining a recognizable experimental touch. It might be you can find out some similarities with the likes of Durutti Column, and Seefeel. The fabulous issue is a part of the discography of Kift Flipper, an imprint from Wales.

Comment: the first contact of mine with an imprint called Swishcotheque happened to a release (Analog Gentleman) by Marko Sula aka Out-Or who was an idiosyncratic underground artist in Estonia during the 90s. Similarly to the compatriot of mine it is quite problematic to describe the nature of Telluric's self-titled issue. Because it is a mind-blowing issue the role of mine as music reviewer seems to be quite impotent. However, let's trying at least. First of all, it is the kind of electronic music for our pleasure. I guess it is based on certain patches of synthesisers. It is saturated with digital noises and incisive sonic effects sometimes to provoke one's thought and mood. Certainly it is inspired by trance music though in a psychedelic key. On the other side, the aesthetic of synthesiser induced music in its acidic and spacious format is apparently a predominant element within it. It is fairly emotive to enjoy how synthesised chords used to turn upward and then downward in an acidic sauce. Imagine an early Talk Talk or Heaven 17 to starkly be influenced by Tangerine Dream. The issue is a platform to seamlessly merge all these elements with one another. And there is artistic elegance up in the air because the final track Trill Cue is an irresistible earworm. Get afflicted with it. Stunning stuff by any means.
