A very
interesting interview with Jasper Leyland is now up on Chilean website
Loop,
exploring the creative process behind his debut album 'Margin' as
well as his interest in field recordings and other art forms. Also
there is an interview with Mole Harness in the first issue of Umbrella
magazine, a highly recommended publication covering a fascinatingly
diverse range of subjects from design and music to button shops,
wood and street furniture.
Some
of the reviews of Jasper Leyland’s debut album ‘Margin’
are now up in the press section. Here are some quotes:
“a
distinguished collection of subtly textured drone works, with Brewster
proving himself a deft sculptor of organic and processed sounds”
Textura
“Structurally
dense and pulsing with great sonic ideas” Gaz-Eta
“heartwarming
- at times delightful - organic minimalism” Touching
Extremes
“gorgeous electronically
treated drones creating cinematic atmospheres”
Loop
“nothing short
of an absolute gem… Simply marvellous” Smallfish
“experimental
excellence” Nick Luscombe, XFM
The
album, released in a limited edition of 150 copies, has also been
compared to artists like Taylor Deupree, Greg Davis, Christopher
Willits, Pan American and Colleen, as well as being likened to the
work of labels such as Apestaartje, Plop, 12K and Kranky.
The label
has a new website. As well as information about releases/ artists
and lots of tracks to download, there is also a photos section where
you can see full versions of some of the images used on this site
and on the covers of label releases (all of which are taken by Cecilia
Ek).
