What we say
 This record left our Mingus Rude feeling happy.
'Blue' is also the title of a new collection by Part Timer on Japanese label Flau. This collection continues the slightly introspective strain of music popular amongst bedroom musicians and the like. A little more progressive than the Melodium CDR, this set combines the organic and synthetic to summon up a mode that anticipates the current boom for all things folk. With a previous release on Moteer it's not surprising to find a couple of collaborators from that imprint, notably Andrew Johnson (Remote Viewer) and Nicola Hodgkinson (Empress). With an extensive use of vocals, field recordings, strings and found sound this is a warm collection clocking up 14 tracks in total.
What the label says:
After releasing the gorgeous debut album by cokiyu, flau label of
Tokyo, which is curated by Yasuhiko Fukuzono (a.k.a. aus), is proud
announce the release of Blue, the brand new album by the brilliant
artist Part Timer (John McCaffrey).
As the second release from flau, and also the second album by Part
Timer, this luminous album is a collection of brand new tunes, a
couple of remixes and some bits from the voluminous archives at
McCaffrey HQ. His stunning click beats, and sublime warm melodies
from acoustic guitar, beautifully exhibits the moteer's sound, with a
polished touch of folk. More elegant and pastoral than the
melancholic sounds of his self-titled debut album, which was voted as
one of the favorite records of 2006 by The Pastels,
Part Timer's Blue album features the fantastic Australian string
quartet Fourplay, with its string instruments gorgeously instill weight
and warmness into the already beautiful melodies. Also contributing
to this album are the dreamy vocals of Nicola Hodgkinson (aka.
empress) and Andrew Johnson of The Remote Viewer.
Blue is where organic sounds and tranquil atmosphere drift together,
gently blowing folkish breezes in between the summer leaves. Fans
of The Books, Four Tet, Helios, Tunngs, grab this NOW! " |
