MOTION SICKNESS OF TIME TRAVEL
The other main obsession for me this past week has been Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, the alias of Rachel Evans.
I came to her via the Seeping Through The Veil Of The Unconscious tape…
“Evans concocts six whirlwind romances all in the space of an hour. beauty, magic and bleeding effervescence come together in perfect harmony. vague electro meanderings hide hints of early grouper as evans’ compositions sing with the spheres. while the songs are built around vaguely catchy repetitive synth backbones, she laces an incredible array of instrumental layers between those bones creating music that is as dense and complex as it is continous. yet, the real star here is her voice. sometimes its at the fore, other times its buried underneath the plodding keys but it never gets lost and always shines. stunning music in every way.” (Digitalis)
…and now find myself revelling in scores of MP3’s of the last year of her output, of which I’ll be posting more over the coming weeks.
Vinyl reissues of some of these tapes will start dropping in early 2011 (at which point I’ll kill any links). In the meantime, check out the track below and download STTVOTU here.
