A string of critically lauded solo releases culminated in 2016s \u003ci\u003eSisters \u003c\/i\u003eLP (title track remixed by Boards of Canada) and this years \u003ci\u003eMirrors \u003c\/i\u003eLP which saw the West Coast producer at the peak of his powers. A massive 66 tracks over 4 sides of wax!! Dilla’s \u003ci\u003eDonuts\u003c\/i\u003e, since its release in 2006, has deservedly been regarded as the benchmark for adventurous beat-tape construction. With\u003ci\u003e Flippies\u003c\/i\u003e, Odd Nosdam picks up the blueprint and takes aim at the next level. Digging fathoms deep in the crates, his source material comes from super rare records thatyou’ve never heard of, many of them private pressings. From plaintive deep soul cuts, gritty chitlin’ circuit funk, blues-ey 60s garage band sessions, through to some seriously heavy psych-rock freakouts and all manner of wierdness in between, the scope of this recordis mind bending. But it doesn’t stop there, mashed up into this heady brew you’ll also pick up hints of gospel, jazz, dub and spacey west coast acid. A calypso steel band even makes an appearance at one point! And the whole thing is neatly stitched together with snatches of film dialogue providing the narrative thread. So many disparate influences could make for an unfocussed, smorgasbord of a record but Nosdam has honed his skills over the years to such a degree that these 66 tracks, 80 mins in total, have been sculpted and shaped with rapier precision into a work that is as lithe and supple as it is kaleidoscopic and exhilarating. In a word, breathtaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Home Assembly Music","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50498343403851,"sku":"1071340","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e364b86d-d9fe-4078-8ee2-4a561ab7092a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727745328"},{"product_id":"really-early-really-late","title":"Really Early, Really Late","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over 30 years Richard Adams has been quietly documenting his own particular corner of the English countryside both with Hood, the post-rock band he formed with his brother in 1991, and since 2007 with The Declining Winter. Recorded over a five year period and inspired by rustic English alternatives such as Talk Talk and Robert Wyatt, The Declining Winter’s latest work \u003ci\u003eReally Early, Really Late\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of beautiful songs, immersed in a richer sonic spectrum incorporating strings, horns and lush electronic textures, alongside Adams’ own unique guitar tones and characteristic dubby bass. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough it retains the homespun scratchiness of previous The Declining Winter records, \u003ci\u003eReally Early, Really Late\u003c\/i\u003e is also their most ornate. A remotely collaborative effort, the record is scattered with decorative embellishments from violinist 11 Sarah Kemp (Brave Timbers), cellist Peter Hollo (Tangents), and guitarist Ben Holton (epic45), among many others. Adams’ distorted whisper of a voice has never been more exposed leading to a brutally emotive and intensely personal song-suite, both raw and beautiful in equal measure. The storybook curiosity of Mark Hollis’ work is a particular influence. Like Hollis, this music is imbued with magical realism: beholden to nature, it hints at the mysteries lurking in mundane local landscapes and the more remote Yorkshire moors and valleys. A record to hold close to your heart, \u003ci\u003eReally Early, Really Late\u003c\/i\u003e sees Adams and his collaborators emerge from the shadows with their most complete work to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRIYL: Talk Talk, Rachel’s, Sam Prekop, Hood, Red House Painters, Bark Psychosis, The Notwist. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Home Assembly Music","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50506034250059,"sku":"2013400","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Declining_Winter_-_Really_Early_Really_Late_017f596c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727818273"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/home-assembly-music.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
