BAKER, AIDAN - The Confessional Tapes

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Pleasance Records PRO44 Release Year: 2015 Note: ten 'experimental' songs with a very intimate & somehow odd fragmented character, based on old recovered files once lost in a harddisc crash, recorded back in Canada years ago... this evokes a very special atmosphere, suspended drone-jazz with subtle vocals & whispers.... "drifting between slowcore, dreampop, abstract jazz, and glitchy electronica." Price (incl. 19% VAT): €21.00 More Info "Aidan Baker's The Confessional Tapes is another of his more song-oriented albums, though here drifting between slowcore, dreampop, abstract jazz, and glitchy electronica. Baker originally began working on this record in Toronto several years ago, but lost the audio files in a hard drive crash. Those files which were recoverable from the original recordings, corrupted and glitchy, ended up forming the backbone of the album, providing a fragmentary and abstract structure to the songs as Baker worked on them in his adoptive home of Berlin. Aidan Baker is a Canadian musician and writer who has toured and performed around the world, both solo and with his partner in the “ambient-doom” duo Nadja. A prolific artist, Baker has released numerous albums on such labels as Alien8 Recordings, Important Records, and Drone Records. He is also the author of a several books." [label info]
