about

Metronomicon Audio has always been fortunate that its artists produce unusual melodies, for your unorthodox listening pleasure. This is particularly evident with this S.L.Y.C. album. Sara Cools appears to be Metronomicon’s least manic songwriter (thus far), so listeners can expect something a little more laid back with this release. This may lead one to think of the album’s melodies as somnambulent, drifting to the ear from some imaginary faraway temple, but the music is possessed of great immediacy – this directness coming from the strong presence in the recording of band performance. The duality particularly reveals itself on the song ʿWhite Noiseʾ. Another tune to which attention can be drawn is the finale, ʿMiniaturesʾ, which at over eight minutes fully explores its own volcanic potential, a long melodic playout ending in ambient noise – though not deafening noise, you understand.

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011

Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars
by Sarah Louise

Where once her playing was essentially representational and descriptive, with 12-string cascades and plaintive vocals standing in for wind and snow, “Nighttime Birds” attempts to give voice to the fingerstyle guitarist’s entire universe at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2019
