He ended up thinking of it as a wordless collection of library music. \u003cem\u003eLibrary music\u003c\/em\u003e is a trove of anonymously produced sound that can be plundered for any kind of use and Elkington, the Chicago based British guitarist, finds a freedom in this music that seems to come out nowhere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe follows up \u003cem\u003eMe Neither\u003c\/em\u003e with \u003cem\u003ePastel De Nada\u003c\/em\u003e, a new 2xLP set where the 27 tracks amount to more of a toolkit than a library. Bright, optimistic strums like ‘The Lyre Concordia’, layered meditations like ‘Morny in the Earling’ and ‘The Caves at Aurangabad’, and tracks like ‘The Equal Spacing’ that tick and whir like little machines for generating joy. Elkington squares his guitars off against textures, atmospheres and whispers of percussion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Quarter","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":51268779082059,"sku":"2501304","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/13c35143-6d34-2f6c-1db5-c874b617f732.jpg?v=1739537801","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/pastel-de-nada","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
