1/2/3/4 — #256 — Harry Cook and All Flaws

I’ve been patiently waiting for the debut EP from Harry Cook, (his gorgeous track All Flaws with vocalist/composer Hannah Cameron a real favourite of mine last year) to arrive and it’s finally here. Five quite diverse tracks that leaves a gentle, intimate impression. Harry Cook draws on his diverse experience as a classical pianist, jazz improviser, and contemporary sessional musician for The Teskey Brothers, WILSN and more to tell evocative stories through song. He joins me for a chat on this edition of 1-2-3-4. As well, fantastic tracks from Minor Gold, Josh Rennie-Hynes, Stephen Becker, Blackbirds FC and much more.

Quiet Space — #221 — Careful Now

James Murray is an incredible composer and producer of slow minimal electronic music. He returns with his first solo album in three years on the Home Normal imprint. ‘Careful Now’ is a radiant, soft-focused work of wide-eyed romanticism and childlike innocence. It is an album of heartfelt humanity and purity of spirit that can indeed ‘draw light’ into our very being as the final track attests.

Quiet Space — #219 — Excavation Patterns

Alex Carpenter is an Australian-born artist and researcher living in New York City. In the words of Luke Altman, curator of the de la Catessan label, “”As Excavation Patterns creeps and smothers, winds and bonds, it takes the shape of its ancient host, the Symphony. Excavation Patterns itself isn’t a symphony, but it is draped over the Symphony, lovingly, like a verdant shroud.” This is an incredible work that is highly recommended.

1/2/3/4 — #249 — Clouds of Joy

A wonderful worldly collection of sounds on this edition. The Badge Époque Ensemble are from Toronto, Canada and return with their third album, Clouds of Joy. It represents a shift from the group’s previous sonic excursions into the worlds of vintage soundtrack grooves and early electric jazz towards a more era-ambiguous, complex and all-encompassing approach to arrangement production. Just one of nine killer tunes for you to explore.
