YARNS FROM THE CHOCOLATE TRIANGLE (PEANUT CHOCOLATE LP)
Coloured 12 Inch
Pressing on peanut chocolate coloured vinyl.
On June 16th 2023 momentum continues apace for Alex Paterson"s Orbscure records, with the new album by Chocolate Hills - his duo project with Paul Conboy. Purveying world class melodic ambience and plenty beyond, colours in this high-fidelity-headphone-wonderland range from languid chill, kitsch exotica, library music, space age pop, ye olde folk and even drum and bass - all seasoned with (in)appropriately random plunderphonics from Paterson"s infinite goodie bag. Loosely based around a nautical journey to the Bermuda triangle and back, this is a fantastic voyage, but seas remain calm - more "Life Aquatic" than "Moby Dick". Tracks gently bob and float on bass which is roomy and buoyant like the hull of a ship, whilst luxuriously fluffy clouds meander overhead, before their vessel dives deep below to marvel at aquatic delights, guided by sonar.
