Nace’s career has been defined by a relentless probing of ways to frame the complex menu of human emotions, and that the guitar has been his primary tool for exploring this terrain is of little consequence. On this new release, he also employs tapes, hurdy gurdy, doughnut pipe, quelle est belle, as well as his latest instrument of choice, taishōgoto. This is also, ultimately, insignificant. What matters is the discerning spirit which animates his work. The tracks are carefully built from loops and phrases that talk to each other, subsume one another, overlapping and crashing and diving and expanding and emerging into unimagined vistas. On the whole, the record offers a fascinating and engrossing chronicle – a sequence of interrelated stories told by a temporally dislodged narrator. You think you’re here, then you’re there, and then you go through trapdoors and along tunnels, into cellars and secret rooms, and you find that actually you’re back where you started. But it’s not hard to follow. Nothing this enticing can be hard to follow. “The record was recorded and edited in Philadelphia during the uncertain summer of 2021 with engineer and co-producer Cooper Crain. Where ‘Both’ was a chiselling down of spontaneous live performance, ‘Through a Room’, while obviously the work of the same artist, treats its sounds as building blocks, combining them to mesmerizing effect. What’s striking is the poise, the degree of authorial intensity. The false dichotomy of composition and improvisation is thoroughly and rightfully abolished. Bill’s interests range from post-punk to post- industrial to hip-hop to free jazz to avant-garde composition, and every area between such unhelpful labels. From the inscrutable, evocative track titles to the enticingly baffling cover art by his longtime compatriot Daniel Higgs, Nace is guided by an ineffable, internal muse, a persistently personal stormcloud of ideas that, ultimately, comprise that thing we call art. Here’s the real deal.” – Matt Krefting, Holyoke, 2022 Artist Bill Nace Genre Leftfield / Experimental Label Drag City Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Intro Les Echos (Piece for Tuba) Boil First E:E When Orange Crooked Teeth The Giant Ann Outro Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Leftfield / Experimental View Product Quick View Chihei Hatakeyama Late Spring Leftfield / Experimental | Gearbox | 1LP Released 28th May 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chihei Hatakeyama Late Spring £20.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1565OBI Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gregg Kowalsky Eso Es Electronica | Mexican Summer | 1LP Released 27th October 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gregg Kowalsky Eso Es £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mexican Summer SKU: MEX2641 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jlin Black Origami Leftfield / Experimental | Planet Mu Records Ltd | 2LP Released 19th May 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jlin Black Origami £19.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Planet Mu Records Ltd SKU: ZIQ376 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Badge Epoch Scroll Leftfield / Experimental | Telephone Explosion | 2LP Released 20th August 2021 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Badge Epoch Scroll £37.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Telephone Explosion SKU: TER080LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 20th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frank Zappa Orchestral Favorites 40th Anniversary Classical | UMC | 1LP Released 30th August 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Zappa Orchestral Favorites 40th Anniversary £20.00 Genre: Classical Label: UMC SKU: 0238601 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alessandro Alessandroni I Cantori Moderni Leftfield / Experimental | Penny Records | 1LP, Includes CD Released 8th April 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alessandro Alessandroni I Cantori Moderni £19.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Penny Records SKU: PNY3302LPC Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 8th April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Trevor Powers Capricorn Leftfield / Experimental | Fat Possum | 1LP Released 7th May 2021 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trevor Powers Capricorn £17.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP17481 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th May 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jarboe (Swans) and Helen Money Jarboe and Helen Money Leftfield / Experimental | Aurora Borealis | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd March 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jarboe (Swans) and Helen Money Jarboe and Helen Money £16.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Aurora Borealis SKU: ABX063LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sly & Robbie and Nils Petter Molvaer Nordub Leftfield / Experimental | Okeh | 2LP Released 6th April 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sly & Robbie and Nils Petter Molvaer Nordub £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Okeh SKU: 88985406341 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roberto Cacciapaglia Sei Note In Logica Leftfield / Experimental | Mirumir | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 5th November 2012 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roberto Cacciapaglia Sei Note In Logica £20.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Mirumir SKU: MIR100703LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 5th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Leftfield / Experimental Start again
