A eterna ideia de viajar no tempo. O pensamento comum e j alimentou um sem nmero de filmes e de livros. Sabemos que ainda no existe a tecnologia necessria, mas Rachel Evans j deu o primeiro passo, pelo menos numa dimenso bem mais pequena que a nossa mente. Inspirada pela expresso usada na obra Soft Machine , de William S. Burroughs, a criadora multimdia tem demonstrado uma actividade altamente prolfera com vrios lbuns e algumas colaborao s ao longo deste ano.

Motion Sickness of Time Travels Luminaries sounds like flowing water in parts and in others a kind of slowed-down Pheonix. The opening to The Walls were Dripping with Stars uses a metronome that seems to disperse into the rest of the song, as if Rachel put a drop of meter into a particularly viscous drone note and let it slowly spiral out. Sped up, the album could have approached something like a chillwave beat. This is less chillwave and more ethereal. Motion Sickness of Time Travel captures the water on certain tracks, with notes of water bubbling in the background [...]]]> text/html 2011-08-19T20:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3661513/video-new-mexico-motion-sickness-dustball-edition/

Rachel Evans has been pulling an Emeralds all year. During the latter half of the previous decade, the members of the Ohio-based trio released a ton of excellent material through a variety of media (albums, cassettes, CDs, mp3s) and asserted themselves as major players in the world of ambient electronic music with both quantity and quality. This year, Evans has seen similar success. The vinyl rerelease of her excellent 2010 cassette Seeping Through the Veil of the Unconscious brought her all sorts of accolades; she also recently released a terrific split cassette with the UKs Jimmy Billingham (also [...]]]> text/html 2011-07-15T08:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3581095/ein-bad-im-sternenmeer-motion-sickness-of-time-travel/
Der kosmische DronePop von Motion Sickness of Time Travel ist das Sprungbrett in einen tiefen Klangfluss, der jenseits des gewohnten Wahrnehmungshorizonts ins Sternenmeer mndet. Rachel Evans hat die blichen Songwriter-Strukturen berwunden, die Gitarre vorerst an den Nagel gehngt und sich hinter Synthesizer und Effektgerte gesetzt. Die Stimme wurde zum Instrument, zum flchtigen Irrlicht ber einem dunklen Klangfluss, worauf man rcklings im gespiegelten Sternenmeer treibt. Das geschmeidige An- und Abschwellen der Tonwellen und sanfte Schwanken im Hall kann zu leichter Hypnose, Nostalgie und Schwindel fhren. Zu kleinen Einbrchen der Realitt, [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-28T13:49:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3553237/motion-sickness-of-time-travel-synastry-by-motion-sickness/

The original vinyl press of this was gone in an instant but thankfully Digitalis have gone a second round with Seeping Though the Veil of the Unconscious this time on white vinyl. MSoTT is the alter-ego of Hooker Vision co-curator, Rachel Evans and her bubbling, alchemical pop hovers close to the edge of consciousness usually staked out for Grouper, Higuma and a few other conspirators of the ethereal plane. Though admittedly Evans' version of delirium is often much more innocent sounding than some of her contemporaries, it does retain their spectral sense of bittersweet ennui.

Frequent readers of RFC are no s tranger to our adoration for Neutral Uke Hotel . I mean, anyone that combines our love of ukulele and Jeff Mangum is pretty much the cat's pajamas in our book. The only shortcoming of the group, perhaps, has been their lack of audible goodness, outside of a few live vids and one lone mp3. If you want to go see Neutral Uke Hotel, you're in luck! The band's been touring quite a bit. But if you, say, want to lay in the guest bed at [...]]]> text/html 2010-08-26T22:18:07+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2780252/new-video-neutral-uke-hotel/
