Kiln ~ Sunbox
Half an hour of
sunbaked warmth and solid melodies. There’s a slightly hallucinogenic
quality to Kiln’s sound – sometimes it’s as if they’re
heard through ears situated just under the surface of water (is that the flitting
of a dragonfly up there?) At other times it’s like when you’re
somewhere so bakingly hot that it has an effect on acoustics similar to the
visual wavering of the middle distance. Here I sit on a blustery Sunday in
English springtime and my ears are telling me I’m on a Mediterranean
beach in mid-summer. Strange. Sunbox’s events are driven along by lovely
little glitchy rhythms that might just be the sampled sounds of ants trying
to build sandcastles.
Instructions: 1. Purchase this cd; 2. Pack cd in summer bag prior to making a mercy dash for somewhere appropriately hot; 3. On arrival press ‘play’; 4. Lie back and luxuriate. (May be advisable to apply a little sunblock wherever you end up listening to this, even Croydon on a rainy day...)
