Catalogue Number: ARABLE 06 VINYL

*10 COPIES ONLY BACK IN STOCK - Vinyl Edition limited to 300 copies and featuring individually signed, handmade cover-art. Very special!* The Home listening tapestry has become infinitely more populated and dense these last twelve months, the amount of attention afforded the likes of Max Richter, William Basinski, Johann Johannson, Harold Budd, Biosphere, Deaf Center, Marsen Jules.. (and so the list goes on) making it easier then ever for people to discover that late night music, those midnight soundtracks that have until recently been best known for their anonymity. Alongside this effervescent strand of music, there's also been a trend for more organic variations on the theme - music that blends an array of toy instruments, introverted classical themes, lost soundtrack reels, found sounds and intimate field recordings - something that the likes of Colleen, Kim Hiorthoy, Mum and Piana have become much loved for. This gorgeous new album on the Arable label (run by one half of Isan, a label that brought the world the hugely acclaimed debut album from Psapp) manages to weave these two strands into a seamless tapestry of beguiling loveliness. Recorded in Spain, Scotland, Taiwan and England, Hodson's approach to bridging borders is not merely geographical, drenched as it is in collaborative talent (Peter and David Brewis of Field Music, Maximo Park's Paul Smith and Caroline Thorp to name but a few...), Making for an utterly charming, inventive and, most importantly beautifully original album that has already subjected itself to considerable critical acclaim. This is one of those unfathomably intimate records, an absolute must for anyone who's found themselves in love with the neon soundtracks penned by any of the many wonderful artists mentioned in this review. Essential purchase.
