It seems like there’s barely a niche left in our culture in which something divisive can’t be wedged into; even in the supposedly egalitarian world of club oriented living there are rows about corporate sell outs and genre policing.
Not old enough to participate in the utopian British rave scene of the late eighties, on Tremor Daniel Avery has adapted one of it’s precepts by opening up his musical consciousness to embrace diversity and open mindedness. This approach in tandem with a long list of collaborators enables him to explore textures well beyond the past, from industrial noise to shoegaze to arty synth pop.
Regular listeners might want to check their expectations at the door, as The Kills’ Alison Mosshart sleazes all over the dirty bass of Greasy Off The Racing Line whilst the enigmatic yeule gives Disturb Me a spectral trip hop vibe. There are welcome berths here for nu-school ‘gazers bdrmm and New Dad’s Julie Dawson via A Silent Shadow and Ghost of Her Smile respectively, but the most satisfying departures are Rapture In Blue’s gorgeous dream pop and the ravey closer I Feel You.
On Tremor Daniel Avery welcomes everyone, in the process attempting his boldest career experiment yet.
