Lawrence English - Wilderness of Mirrors

Full stream of the Wilderness of Mirrors on Room40's Soundcloud.

Really impressed with this so far, reminiscent of Kiri No Oto and The Peregrine.

A lot of his early work is comprised of straight up field recordings, I'd recommend checking out the albums on Cronica and Baskaru, both excellent, not as noisy as he is now though expect some high frequencies. His release as I/O is good, a couple of beat driven tracks, certainly stands out against the rest of his catalogue.

I only heard his collab with liz harris and I liked it very much.

Been following him a bit since "A Colour for Autumn", which is really good. His releases are divided between two different styles (sort of) - the field recording-based and more minimal stuff like "A Colour..." and his release together with Minamo, and on the other hand the pure and harrowing drone of this new release, "Kiri No Oto", and others. It's all quite brilliant :-)

really liked this one a lot on first listen!

Kiri No Oto, The Peregrine, The Colour Of Autumn, and For Varying Degrees Of Winter are all awesome.

Just got my download code for this the other night, but haven't been able to listen yet. Looking forward to listening. Should be massive.

Living in Brisbane, he does live shows every now and then, but they always seem to coincide with times I'm busy. Would love to get along to one one day. :/

i'm very late to the party but this record is truly gorgeous, fantastic, kind of a sonic storm for the ears.
