Retaining some of the textural play and experimentation of Ian’s solo material whilst channelling it squarely within the domain of tangible songwriting, the pair utilise guitar, modified tape decks, bass and synths to fashion deeply-felt songs with their beautifully matched male / female vocals standing resolutely centre-stage. Taking influence and inspiration from the likes of Low, Grouper, Mazzy Star, Portishead, My Bloody Valentine, Talk Talk and Cat Power, ‘The Heavy Steps Of Dreaming’ sounds at once familiar whilst forging something new, unique and beyond the sum of its influences. Over the course of its 8 tracks – from the opening bars of ‘Rothko’ to the resonant closing lines of ‘Shipbreaking’ – the duo move fluidly between voices, shift from moments of overwhelming power to perfect points of stillness; from acoustic balladry pared down to the sparsest of means to thick, tumbling swells of tape and electronics or billowing synth trails. At both album and song level, it’s a work of contrasts and combinations; of broad, bold dynamics. Masterfully crafted, the lyrics are rendered with an almost painterly approach and reveal a palpable joy in the richness of language and its capacity to conjure resonances, to hold moments close and to patch together meaning from life’s scattered detritus. What’s forged is a kind of Alt. Americana filtered through a progressive modern lens and the tactile, heavily processed tactics of Ian’s solo practice – an approach that links to the corrosive aesthetics of electronic artists like Fennesz, William Basinski or The Caretaker. Available to independent retailers on clear vinyl. “Puts ambient music, dream pop, and operatic vocals in a blender, and comes out with something that’s very unique” – Brooklyn Vegan “An atmosphere that flits between the overtly beautiful and the frankly eerie” – Clash Magazine Artist Minor Pieces Genre Rock And Pop Label Fat Cat Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Rothko This House Brávallagata Grace Burden The Way We Are In Song Tender Fire Shipbreaking Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Sting Songs From The Labyrinth Rock And Pop | Universal Music | 1LP Released 13th June 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sting Songs From The Labyrinth £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Universal Music SKU: 4765722 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bruce Hornsby Spirit Trail – 25th Anniversary Reissue Rock And Pop | Zappo Productions | 3LP Released 27th October 2023 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bruce Hornsby Spirit Trail – 25th Anniversary Reissue £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Zappo Productions SKU: Zappo0041 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Longpigs Extra Longpigs Rock And Pop | Demon | 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th November 2022 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Longpigs Extra Longpigs £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon SKU: DEMRECBOX74 Formats: 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Indigo Girls Indigo Girls Americana / Country | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 1st July 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Indigo Girls Indigo Girls £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1646 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Viv Albertine The Vermillion Border Rock And Pop | Cadiz | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th June 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Viv Albertine The Vermillion Border £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cadiz SKU: CADIZLP120 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Holiday Ghosts Coat of Arms Rock And Pop | Fat Cat | 1LP Released 29th March 2024 £22.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Holiday Ghosts Coat of Arms £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Cat SKU: FATLP180 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th March 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blitzen Trapper Holy Smokes Future Jokes Rock And Pop | Yep Roc | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 4th September 2020 £20.00 - £22.00 Select options Blitzen Trapper Holy Smokes Future Jokes £20.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Yep Roc Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th September 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Moon Duo Occult Architecture Vol.2 (Repress) Rock And Pop | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moon Duo Occult Architecture Vol.2 (Repress) £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR169LPC3 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steps Platinum Collection Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th August 2022 £25.00 - £28.00 Select options Steps Platinum Collection £25.00 - £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Aldous Harding Old Peel b/w Old Peel (Alternate Version) Rock And Pop | 4AD | 7", Single Released 9th July 2021 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aldous Harding Old Peel b/w Old Peel (Alternate Version) £8.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: 4AD0240S2 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 9th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
