The Ambient Service: ‘When Facts Don’t Matter’.
Made on and off over the last 4 years, in response to Trumps presidency, and the international drift to the right in general, with titles drawn from newspapers such as The New York Times and Washington Post. ‘When We’ll Know Who Won’, ‘What We Know and What We Don’t Know’, and ‘Traps, Smokescreens and Suicide Bombers’ hint at the media’s necessity to fact check and monitor the very basis of democracy. These voiceless songs are slow, murky, but with a growling rise of noise and grit which suggest the struggle to navigate a path through such divided times.

To Blacken the Pages: Bogland
Bogland, TBTP/McAree’s 6th release, sees a radical change in musical direction. Eschewing previous work drenched in fuzz pedals and effects, Bogland sees McAree focusing much more directly on clean – if still loud – guitar based work. The work here, not surprisingly, results in a series of shorter pieces, and sees McAree juxtaposing guitar based explorations against sounds created using largely free, visual-based apps on an ipad. This much simpler and direct approach to working also sees McAree use his voice across several tracks.
Price includes postage. EURO €10.

CROW’S NEST: 12″ VINYL + CD
Originally released 1 June 2009.
12″ in black disco sleeve with handmade extra-wide obi-strip style wrap around the release, all within clear pvc sleeve. Also included a black-bottomed CDR with info on charcoal card within black envelope.
The 12” came with a CDR of the audio, but the 2nd track presenting a much longer version of the B-side track, ‘Crow Sun’.
I’ve now pulled these physical releases to buy as the obi-strip is a pain to print, and I’ve moved house a couple of times since so the vinyl is stored in boxes. If you’re interest let me know by DM and I’ll dig out a copy – won’t have the cd or obi on it tho.
