LP version.
Searchlight Moonbeam
is the new narrative compilation from
Time Is Away
(
Jack Rollo
and
Elaine Tierney
) whose eponymous monthly NTS Radio shows, tinctured fusions of fugitive sounds and reverie-inducing archival speech, have won them an ardent following. It follows from the London-based duo's
Ballads
, a remarkable driftwerk released on A Colourful Storm in 2022.
Searchlight Moonbeam
is an autumnal dreamscape, intimate and vespertine, pensive and irresolute. An imagined community where differences drop off and resonances emerge -- between
Maher Shalal Hash Baz
affiliates
Kasumi Trio
, Taiwanese score composer
Chen Ming Chang
whose "Rainwater" (written for
Hou Hsiao-Hsien
's 1986 film
Dust In The Wind
) is exquisitely heartbroken, and the plangent improvisations of self-taught French pianist
Delphine Dora
. Revelations are frequent: the bedsit isolationism of
Bo Harwood
and
John Cassavetes
' "No One Around to Hear It" (from
The Killing of a Chinese Bookie
); the narked minimalism of
Klang
(an early 2000s band formed by ex-
Elastica
guitarist and featuring prize-winning experimental novelist
Isabel Waidner
on bass); the etude-grooves and echoic wobble of below-the-radar French avant-gardists
Omertà
; the beautiful, plaintively dubby "Is It You?" by
Slapp Happy
; a psych-tinged reimagining of
PiL
's "Poptones" by
Simon Fisher Turner
(one half of
Deux Filles
, and here, recording for él as
The King of Luxembourg
) that's as perverse as the cover of
Throbbing Gristle'
s "20 Jazz Funk Greats."
Searchlight Moonbeam
is the musical analog of an
Italo Calvino
novel or a medieval fable. Associative, intuitive, borderless. Emotional and mysterious. Endowed with the tactility of Braille. A private language that is both unknowable and understood. It is a record of the seasons, for the seasons. Featuring an evocative essay by writer
Jeremy Atherton Lin
and disarming cover art by
Penny Davenport
,
Searchlight Moonbeam
showcases Rollo and Tierney's still-unrivalled talent for gloaming melodies, disques du crépuscule, ensorcelled storytelling. Also featuring
Bhairavi Raman
,
Nanthesh Sivarajah
,
O.G. Jigg
,
Scala
,
Soft Location
,
Gyeongsu
,
CROCHE
,
Un
, and
Harry Plunket-Greene
.
