BEATS OF LOVE
158. Patron Saint Of Elsewhere LP by Sewell & the Gong
NOT SURE how this talented duo was going to translate over a long-play listen after a mighty impressive twelve, but they've locked into one hell of a mood and groove with a confidence which is highly addictive. A tad weightier but still spangled with enough air to take all the heavy chocolate in your life away.
The pressing is flawless too, which helps when drifting off deep. So deep that I stubbed my little toe on my swivel chair's foot while surrendering to it. The most pain I've felt in ages which is odd considering how many pallets I've mishandled of late. So much so that I actually put on a pair of socks to lie down and finish my listen.
I miss communal listening. Whilst not as intense, it is great sharing the energy and space with someone appreciative. Loving the print too with its soft sherbert hues that nailed what I was imagining my flyers would be like when an illustrator friend helped me out until they came back. Nothing like this, of course.
Only this time I actually bought their work for the colourful psychedelia of the music in its entirety. Beguiling drones and all.
