For The Ambient Lovers...review and mixtape archive 001

I received the news of pre-orders for the long-awaited (by me at least) Debacle Records album, "Failings", and the Reaching compilation's last day to be picked up was Bandcamp Friday back.


Anyone who is familiar with Debacle Records will know of their penchant for billowing, white-noise-wrapped-in-a-blanket clouds o' reverb splendour, as shown on releases by Karnak Temples, Brain Fruit, and various compilation entrants including a reference to the blanket aforementioned.



Their style of ambient is free form, in the purest sense of the word. The music drifts like an octagon from side to side, never quite matching up with the indices of the previous side. The idea appears to be re-generation, and re-generative or re-kinetic music, but all the while, there's a awful lot of progress and depth to be had just taking in the Debacle Records stronghold of releases.

"Failings is a project founded by Ian Hawk of West Coast tone shakers Tecumseh. On this his first full LP he is joined by Debacle alum Garek Jon Druss and the mighty Greg Fox (Zs, Liturgy, Guardian Alien).

Failings is a four track whip around various disparate zones from blackened wilds to hopeful synth rave ups and pounding crunchy drums. If you think you know what is coming next, I doubt it.

Recorded and mix by the mighty Billy Anderson in PDX

The first 80 copies come with a flat packed laser cut sculpture. An ode to Brion Gysin's Dream Machine by Garek and Ian. Just pop it out of the sprue and self assemble.
