BACK IN STOCK: 'Vertical London (New Year’s Day)' by Kate Carr Concept album hearing field recording sound collages map out a journey on one of the busiest and most chaotic days of the year. www.normanrecords.com/records/2161...
This is true for so many labels right now. Sales are falling and for many of us we are struggling to break even. Do support if you can. A small amount of money goes a long way.
Difficult Art And Music@difficultart.bsky.social · 2w agoYou're not supposed to admit you're struggling. But we r - and I know for a fact we're not alone. The grassroots is dying - it needs U to keep it alive. Buy something from a small label/press. Tell ppl about it who don't often support such things. Explain to them why it's so important. PLS SHARE.
'In Carr’s recorded work the documentary drive of the field recordist melds into the poetic licence of an abstract painter, or perhaps an experimental film maker.' Kate Carr - Vertical London (New Year’s Day) @k8carr.bsky.social buff.ly/K9FsgvD
#newmusicfriday Kate Carr, Vertical London A recommendation: Listen to these gorgeously captured and thoughtfully processed field recordings of London while doing some mundane task. A celestial travelogue of the spaces you've ignored or never known. katecarr.bandcamp.com/album/vertic...

Vertical London (New Year’s Day) is out today. An attempt to trace an ascending trajectory on a single day. “… a capital captured in its oblique heartbeat—tender and restless—where the ear maps the landscape before the eye…”— Rockerilla. Pic by Louise Mason! katecarr.bandcamp.com/album/vertic...
I made Heatwave seven years ago when it was a huge shock to experience London at 30 degrees, but already we have this twice this summer. katecarr.bandcamp.com/album/heatwave

We hit 150 releases this year. Thanks to everyone who has been part of the label or supported it.
“In a work of patient soundscaping, you’ll hear metallic drones and static fuzz mimic the comings and goings of gusts; you’ll notice birds and bleating sheep fade in and out the mix as the swish, rattle and patter of rain incrementally increases.” Eoin Murray on A Storm and its Aftermath.
Eoin Murray@eoin-murray.bsky.social · 11mo agoThe Anois, Os Ard New Irish Music round-up is back! Trying and quite possibly failing to untangle knots of sound, folklore and the Irish landscape, plus tonnes of other stuff. Ambient, shoegaze, club tracks, field recordings, heavy psychedelia. All sorts. open.substack.com/pub/anoisosa...
