Nathan Fake will release his 5th studio album on 3rd April, returning to his own Cambria Instruments label.
Using a deliberately restricted hardware setup and recording most of the tracks in a single take, Blizzards dives straight into the eye of the storm for a turbulent 11-track package.
The title – a partial nod to the
tumultuousness of British politics – but equally apt at describing
Nathan’s cyclical melodic leads, serves as a visual cue to accompany
each track. Glistening nodes are spun into geometric oddities before
spiralling through frantic rhythmic frameworks, from the radiant layers
of ‘Pentiamonds’ to the dissonant delirium of ‘Stepping Stone’.
Beginning with the intention of “soundtracking the ideal rave”, Blizzards
borrows heavily from Nathan’s approach to his live show, capturing
unadulterated moments of creative insight to form microscopically
detailed aesthetic statements.
Whilst the lush melodies he is known
for are central to the album, there is also a heavy dose of
experimentation, expanding on the familiar sonic palette of his earlier
work. For every warm synth and resolved cadence there is an atonal
spiral and gritty distortion lurking around the corner.
As might also be expected of his
music, polyrhythms feature throughout, sometimes taking on a life of
their own but always providing a precise percussive grounding for
melodies to weave in and out of. The effects of this are at times
disorienting, at others psychedelic, but always intriguing, owing to the
influences of early rave and IDM as much as folklorism and
spirituality.
Norfolk born and bred, Nathan’s first encounters with electronic music came via the radio, hearing the likes of Aphex Twin and Orbital, and reading about the equipment that they used in magazines. This was the stimulus for him to buy some gear and begin his own sonic experiments and, linking with James Holden in 2003, Nathan’s early output came via his fledgling Border Community label. His debut album “Drowning In A Sea Of Love” (2006) was a triumphant record, drawing a rapturous reception from the likes of Pitchfork, The Guardian and Mixmag. Recording two further albums for Border Community, “Hard Islands” (2009) and “Steam Days” (2012), with ‘Providence’ arriving on Ninja Tune in 2017. The release of Blizzards will be followed by tour dates of his live club show across the UK and Europe throughout 2020.
Hidden Spheres is the alter ego of Manchester’s Tom Harris, who first made his mark on the underground circuit with his release ‘The Bloos’ on Moods & Grooves, before following it up with the much in demand ‘Waiting’ on Lobster Theremin offshoot Distant Hawaii.
Here, Tom joins the Scissor & Thread family, the Brooklyn label founded by Francis Harris, and home to music that traverses a number of boundaries. Hidden Spheres fits right in – the five track 1985 EP blends house, broken beat, ambient, jazz and other elements into a heady brew.
‘King Tut’ starts proceedings, a laid back jazzy groove, rich in textures and soulful flourishes.
‘My Names’ touches on the UK broken beat legacy of 4 Hero and Bugz in the Attic – an off kilter groove layered with sweet jazz and house inflected licks.
‘Karl’ is a much more direct dancefloor track, albeit with the deepness that we expect from Hidden Spheres.The penultimate track ‘1985’ steps into the unconventional house vibes of Detroit’s third wave.
‘Soon We’ll’ finishes up the EP – a supremely jazzy piece built around the sax, piano and washes of strings and ambient elements – a superb closer for a deep and heartfelt release.

Gemütlich und gemächlich schallt es aus dem Speaker.
Mit Superleckerlis im Gepäck verpasst uns Gina eine gediegene Schelle nach der Anderen. Geflasht von den sanften, akustischen Backpfeiffen, spacen wir völlig weg und fühlen uns wie am Ostende auf der Slowereastside. Wem das noch nicht genug ist, kann gerne noch ne Afterhour mit dran hängen, passt nämlich vom Sound her.
