Larry Clark -- “It was a Dark and Stormy night"

I like to start my stories with something attention grabbing, like, “It was a dark and stormy night”-not true and certainly not original- but it did end up that way as noted in my log for that evening. (below).  I cannot recall what the “Harlequin” mission was but at least 2 a/c would have been involved and perhaps a third as our target. Startup, takeoff and climbout proceeded as normal until we…

Mary Lattimore — Silver Ladders (Ghostly International)

Silver Ladders by Mary Lattimore

Harpist Mary Lattimore has been extremely busy the last few years, collaborating with artists as diverse as Meg Baird, Jeff Zeigler, Rosali and Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan. Silver Ladders is her latest solo record on Ghostly International, following 2018’s stark, crystalline Hundreds of Days. The distinction here is that the album was produced by Slowdive’s Neil Halstead, who brings growling synth bass and ripples of delayed guitar into the mix. It’s a wonderfully rich sound palette, and one that plays to the strengths of both musicians.

The difference between Hundreds of Days and Silver Ladders is writ large in the cover art by Becky Suss. Hundreds of Days depicted a neat and tidy front room, reflecting that album’s mannered, urbane sound. In contrast, the cover of Silver Ladders depicts a diagram of the solar system looming down over a domestic dog curled up on a mat, which echoes this new album’s more pensive, exploratory tone. While both albums build upon the repetition of musical phrases, Silver Ladders feels anxious to break free of its earthly moorings and cut loose into the cosmos, regardless of the rocky ride such a journey might entail.  

On “Pine Trees,” Lattimore’s cyclical playing is highlighted by shimmering trills and some elegant, horn-like synth tones. The title track is more spacious and hesitant, its imploring phrases blurred by the creative use of delay. Then, on the tense, 11-minute “Till A Mermaid Drags You Under,” Lattimore’s harp loops are accompanied by some prominent echoed guitar from Halstead. The synth bass feels like it’s trying to lift the melody out of the murk, only to be sucked back into the song’s insistent swirl, as sparkling pitch-shifted harp lines race around like bubbles eager to break through the surface. The mesmerizing music-box melodies of “Sometimes He’s in My Dreams” are complemented beautifully by a Halstead guitar line that would have sounded right at home on Slowdive’s Pygmalion, which makes for the album’s finest moment. And on the droning “Chop On The Climbout,” deep synth is brought to the foreground, trills of harp fighting to break through the rain clouds.  

There’s a satisfying tension between melody and atmosphere throughout the album, which makes for a gripping listen. This musical relationship between Lattimore and Halstead has yielded such striking results that one would hope a future collaboration is on the cards.

2020 year in review - honourable mentions

It’s year-end list season folks. I’m gonna be listing off my top 10 for this year with some tasty reviews, but I also wanted to make an appreciation post for a few albums that didn’t make the cut, so here’s a collection of mini reviews for five albums that almost made the top 10:

WEST OF EDEN - HMLTD

Main Genres: Art Punk, Glam Punk, Art Pop A decent sampling of: Dark Cabaret, Progressive Pop, Synth Punk, Post-Punk, Punk Blues

West of Eden is what I imagine what happens when a bunch of theatre kids become punk rockers. I had no idea who HMLTD were before I checked them out this year on a whim, and boy am I glad I did. This is very eclectic punk music with pop hooks and a lot of influence from cabaret and musical theatre. Definitely the kind of album where the artist throws everything at the wall to see what sticks, so it’s a mixed bag, but there’s a lot of pay off too. “The West Is Dead” is a wondrously flamboyant opener, and “Satan, Luella, and I” is a such a massive song, with a brilliant clash of aesthetics that is one part wild west, one part gothic, and one part broadway fanfare. Also I swear they’re sampling a vocaloid voice track on “Why?” so that’s something. Check this album out if you wanna get weird. 8/10

Highlights: “Satan, Luella, & I”, “The West Is Dead”, “Where’s Joanna?”, “To The Door”

FUTURE NOSTALGIA – DUA LIPA

Main Genres: Nu-Disco, Dance Pop A decent sampling of: Funktronica, Synth Pop

Ironically, 2020 has been a really big year for nu-disco even though we can’t go out to the clubs. Likewise, this somehow ended up only being my second favourite disco/pop crossover project this year, but this is still a great album and the singles are easily the best thing to dominate the charts this year. If Jessie Ware’s What’s Your Pleasure? is classy, sensual, and soulful, than Future Nostalgia is spunky and free-spirited, like the perfect soundtrack to a night out with the girls. Dua Lipa has really proven she’s a force to be reckoned with in the pop world, and I’m glad she’s starting to approach the level of stardom of artists like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande who frankly I think she’s starting to really outperform musically. The last two tracks standout as easily being the weakest, although unlike some man-children I’m not mad at the lyrics of “Boys Will Be Boys”; it’s just a weak song musically, but not enough to make me forget how much the rest of this kicks ass. Honestly, it’s a crime that I can’t be drunk off my ass shouting the lyrics to “Hallucinate” in a gay bar right now as I’m writing this, but I digress. Very good album, proud of Dula Peep. 8/10 Highlights: “Hallucinate”, “Break My Heart”, “Don’t Start Now”, “Levitating”

SILVER LADDERS – MARY LATTIMORE

Main Genres: Ambient A decent sampling of: Post-Minimalism, New Age, Electroacoustic

I checked out this album because it was co-produced by Neil Halstead of Slowdive (my all-time favourite band), and I didn’t know what to expect from the process of a shoegaze giant producing an album of instrumental harp music. Thankfully, I’m happy to report that the end result is both unconventional and beautifully mesmerizing. Mary Lattimore’s Silver Ladders is a heavenly ambient album comprised mostly of just gently plucked harps, warm reverb, and the occasional addition of sparse bass and synths. Lattimore’s harp work is intricate but subtle, and the songs make a lot of good use of the space between notes, especially on the title track “Silver Ladders”, a haunting siren song that ends in a crescendo of shimmering echoes. I find the shorter ambient pieces on the album work a lot better than the two darker, longer pieces “Til A Mermaid Drags You Under” and “Don’t Look” which I find to be a tad bit dreary. Still, like all good ambient music, this entire project is a lot more than just ‘background music’ and it really captures the imagination of the listener. I want to get lost at sea listening to the cold air of Mary Lattimore’s harp, but I’ll gladly settle for listening to Silver Ladders on the bus ride home instead. 8/10

Highlights: “Silver Ladders“, “Sometimes He’s In My Dreams”, “Chop on the Climbout”

SHRINES – ARMAND HAMMER

Main Genres: Abstract Rap, Experimental Rap, East Coast Rap A decent sampling of: Conscious Rap, Hardcore Rap

Definitely my favourite album cover of the year, and it’s a completely real photo of an incident that actually happened so that’s pretty crazy. As for the music, Shrines is a hypnotic, cryptic hip hop album with hard leftist politics and very interesting production that sounds like the sonic manifestation of a head full of cynical thoughts. Billy Woods and Elucid spit rhymes with a lot of poetic frustration, expressing the feeling of utter disenfranchisement by the power systems of classism and racism that dominate their society. The first half of the album is mostly tracks that are energetic like the absolutely ferocious “Leopards”, while later tracks like “Flavor Flav” and “Ramesses II” are mostly mellow and bitter. The beats can be disorienting and confusing, and some of the tracks are kinda formless, so its definitely not an album to dance to, but Shrines is great for a more introspective listen on a late night walk. If I had to pick an album that captured the zeitgeist of 2020, this is probably it. Great music and important subject matter. 8/10

Highlights: “Leopards”, “Dead Cars”, “Flavor Flav”, “Pommelhorse”

ISLAND – OWEN PALLETT

Main Genres: Chamber Folk A decent sampling of: Art Pop, Modern Classical, Ambient

Owen Pallett is an indie folk artist who has had one foot in the sophisticated world of modern classical music for some time now. Likewise, Pallett’s 2020 concept album Island is grand and orchestral with distinct movements. Continuing the saga of his character Lewis from his 2010 LP Heartland, the new album is equally philosophical and complex, telling the story of Lewis being metaphorically stranded after killing his manipulator god at the end of the last album in the saga. The majority of this album is brilliantly nocturnal in a way that is neither creepy nor unsettling, instead conjuring the invigorating fantasy of a mysterious and enchanting night of a full moon. “Paragon of Order” is particularly enchanting, and while this album only sits at #11 on my year-end list, this one track in particular is probably in my top 3 of the year because it’s just so incredibly magical and captivating in a way that feels like it’s lifting me to a heightened sensory experience every time I listen to it. The last few tracks are a little confusing, especially “Lewis Gets Fucked into Space”, taking a somewhat abstract direction that deviates from the gorgeous imagery of the first half that I fell in love with. Nevertheless, Island is an album I’ll want to revisit on nights when I’m feeling excited or inspired. 8/10

Highlights: “Paragon of Order”, “--> (i)”, “Perseverance of The Saints”, “--> (iii)”, “--> (ii)”, “The Sound of The Engines”

In aviation, a climb is the operation of increasing the altitude of an aircraft. It is also the logical phase of a typical flight (the climb phase or climbout) following takeoff and preceding the cruise. During the climb phase there is an increase in altitude to a predetermined level.

This right here is why i don’t like wikipedia compared to traditional encyclopedias that have at least some intent in their explanations to be understandable to a person who’s LOOKING SOMETHING UP BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. Making it more complicated is the opposite of what a good encyclopedia should be doing. 

Clarity is not a bad word, m’kay.
