Michael Morel Awesome concept LP executed excellently :) Favorite track: Deep Terror.

XUN Unexpected mighty return of one of my favourite bands in a new embodiment. Every track here incredibly atmospheric and built such a beautiful soundscape. Without a doubt, among the best releases of the year. Favorite track: Paranoiac.

about

Briefcases exchanged against a grey brutalist skyline. A nameless man wiretaps a phone call while tape spools silently whirl. A stolen dossier slides across a pub table.
'The Cortina Protocol' is the sound of these images.

released October 6, 2023

Recorded in three days to tape at The Cowshed Studios in North London in early 2021 the album wiretaps the colder veins of 60s and 70s crime soundtracks, weaving tense cinematic atmospheres, hypnotic kraut-isms, and swirling psychedelic funk. Initially influenced by the widescreen aesthetics of Roy Budd, Heliocentrics, John Cameron, Tortoise, DJ Krush, Can, and 23 Skidoo, the album was spontaneously composed, taking many unexpected paths yet creating a cohesive aesthetic throughout.

Matthew Rozeik - guitar, zither, bass, synthesisers, percussion
James Johnston - drums
Dan Knight - rhodes
Barnaby Hodges - saxophone
AJ Cookson - mixing, lyra

Listening to this a few years on, Chapter 319 feels almost melancholic, a reminder of the time where police abolition had nearly mainstream appeal. The tracks still make me furious at the bullshit cops continue to get away with. dninemfive
