autumns is the solo project of christian donaghey from derry, northern ireland. following several releases on downwards and clan destine and hot on the heels of his debut lp, »suffocating brothers«, the »dyslexia tracks« ep sees autumns deliver 5 tracks and 38 minutes of brutal beauty. aligning itself closely to his recent live performances – where snares (and belts) crack like whips and synthesizers »wriggle like a fucking eel« – »dyslexia tracks« completes autumns journey from his post-punk beginnings to producing some of the tautest and toughest electronic music we’ve heard in some time.
alongside progressive appearances on cult labels donaghey’s restless work ethic has seen him share stages in europe and the us with the kvb, lust for youth, beak, silent servant & dva damas.
disco inflections and happiness-driven chanting begins this release. off-placed rhythms call one to move. listening and dancing, is what needed. such need is further pursued in a2. listen. move. ‘which of the waltzes’ explores layering of sounds and is driven by shama joseph’s spontaneous vocal improvisation. while the rhythm swings, the vocals and piano maintain the warm harmonies. the final track is a broken rhythm expulsion. snippets of vocals and deeply resonating piano hints to what ‘which of the waltzes’ could have sounded if further experimentation in sonic reductionism would have taken place.
london-based producer guy andrews is renowned for creating textural electronic music, combining influences from post-rock, techno, ambient and afrobeat. after releasing on hemlock, hotflush and pennyroyal, scoring for photographer nadav kander, and remixing massive attacks robert del naja, he makes his houndstooth debut with in autumn arm’. on the title track, a simple guitar melody falls melancholically over a bed of synth loops and string ensemble, while snares and thundering drums meld with distortion to heighten the tension. let your shadow decide is the a-sides darker, downbeat counterpart, opening with tremolo strings and a weighty bass-line, while emphatic drums build toward the tracks climax. although seemingly disparate, guys use of wall-of-sound noise and softer strings is skilfully mixed, carried forward by the stark guitar lead.
in this system the time has made us slaves frantic wandering in search of vital purpose. our only way out is to bend time to our will. link and sync the machines to our time.
