£25.99 – Dinked Edition #370
A fascinating record – which surreptitiously reels you back in for repeated listens – where the band treat the recording studio like an instrument. From phone-recorded vocals and samples of breath to heavy, tribal electronics in grand acoustic spaces, these sound pioneers have an uncontrollable vintage recording equipment fetish.
The group, made up of twins, Ellie and Imogen Mason, along with Imogen’s husband, William J Stokes, are a family band in the truest sense. Whilst they started out as a folk trio, Domestic Bliss is an album of throat-grabbing, avant-garde indie rock songs studded with eccentric choices: a synth with its keys jammed, playing a tune of its own making.
For Fans Of: Animal Collective, Tune-Yards, XTC, Battles, Dirty Projectors, Talking Heads
