Assembled during the severe winter between 2010 and 2011, the coldest one Londoners experienced in the last years, this fascinating release by London-based musician Antony Harrison cannot but start by the association with Swedish little town Kiruna, the northernmost one of Sweden, located approximately one hundred miles north of the Arctic circle just like the paradigm and the somewhat illusory vision of the relentless and perpetual movement of a huge metropolis had been vanished by a dramatic fall of the columns of mercury, so that during the listening of this 6-track album, you could have the impression Antony "sonically" translated this sudden and seemingly unnatural (at least for those one who normally raves about concepts such as velocity and acceleration applied to urban conglomerate by prefiguring them as robotic anthills...) slowing down till the final paralysis. If you embrace a similar approach, Antony's slowed post-industrial sonic dynamics, its frozen thuds and its glacial semblance become a kind of musicalization of a parody, hatched by sardonic Mother Nature, whose cycles and processes manage to challenge human will of order, progress and domain as well as the confirmation of descriptive sonic skills of this musician, who shared the stage with renowned artists such as Library Tapes, Boduf Songs, Machinefabiek, Simon Scott, Ian Hagwood, Jasper TX and many other talented sound potters.
