about

New 'proper' album, with an alternating mixture of shorter and longer tracks. All the longer tracks are made using single sound sources. BA / LS / BN is released by the good people of Beartown. They've got more CDs than me, so best to buy physical from them. Their description follows:

"Cloudwalker & countryside parson Thomas presents crunch-locker number 9 - BA/LS/BN. Recorded in the past, this is a collection 7 new pieces of music from Hardworking Families, a Brighton-based audio warlock.

Fuzz-laden, swirling vibro-textures swarm & bristle, filling the empty space between your ears. Get lost of the desert of BA/LS/BN & have some dessert afterwards, which is this CD, this CD is the dessert. Thanks.

"the mince - *******" - Sound Gregory

Limited to 50 copies with 'Alien by the Alter' artwork printed on handmade paper, mud-static on-CD printing & 'Elemental Pyramid' insert (for the kids).

There's a lovely subtlety at play here, where I can't tell what's looping and what's not. Despite the titles not offering much in the way of explanation, I think there's humor, nostalgia, and great care in this collection. Ned Milligan
