lbi The first track tells you all you need to know. That bass-drop at 3.12 is just addictive. Idk who Anna Gerth is but she's channeling Vashti Bunyan in the best possible way. Enchanting all the way through.

Bingle Beats 2023 has been an absolute blessing for fans of Shackleton with the volume of releases, absolutely gassed to check this out

about

The Scandal of Time' bookends a prolific period of experimentation for Sam Shackleton and follows a raft of collaborations (with Wacław Zimpel, Heather Leigh and Scotch Rolex this year alone) with what amounts to his first new solo album since 2021’s ‘Departing Like Rivers’. It might also be his most advanced, forward-facing work in years.

Shackleton's been edging away from the dancefloor for about a decade now, exploring alternative tuning systems, modern classical sounds and non-Western rhythms. 'The Scandal of Time' works not just as a précis but a daring leap forward, mixing ghosted, traditional; German folk songs with heart-piercing basslines, xenharmonic percussion and open-ended drones, on what promises to be his last solo release for a while.

The eerie, hauntological world Shackleton has created here is a testament to his years of work on experimental bass music's fringes. He's managed to shepherd us through so many disparate musical styles that have here been finally sutured into a single, startling vessel.

Death by Tickling

Shackleton finds a worthy laboratory partner in Scotch Rolex, and the duo experiment with vaguely tribalized, byzantine sound designs that twist and contort like DMT architecture. One for the heads. PannionSeer

ANTIDAWN EP
by Burial

supported by 40 fans who also own “The Scandal of Time”

How hard it is to find the right words to describe this EP. The layers of daily sounds in every song, the free-form of raw emotion and pure vulnerability “Antidawn” and “New Love” give creates such nostalgic feelings which somehow give life to active memories. But then glitchy, strange disorientated noises make you feel as if you are fever dreaming. It comforts me and embraces me in ways no other music has done before. I have been so mesmerized by Burial’s music, this one I hold dearly. sul1i
