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 Moundabout Flowers Rot, Bring Me Stones Folk | Rocket Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 27th May 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moundabout Flowers Rot, Bring Me Stones £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rocket Recordings SKU: LAUNCH245 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 27th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Faust So Far Leftfield / Experimental | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 4th August 2009 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Faust So Far £27.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M174 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th August 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Battles Mirrored Leftfield / Experimental | Warp | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 29th March 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Battles Mirrored £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP156R Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View T Bone Burnett, Jay Bellerose, Keefus Ciancia The Invisible Light: Spells Leftfield / Experimental | Verve | 2LP Released 5th August 2022 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations T Bone Burnett, Jay Bellerose, Keefus Ciancia The Invisible Light: Spells £26.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Verve SKU: 885699 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th August 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Thor & Friends 4 Leftfield / Experimental | Joyful Noise Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th September 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thor & Friends 4 £23.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Joyful Noise Recordings SKU: JNR307LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Keir Vine (Portico Quartet) Instance EP Downtempo | Trestle | 1LP Released 30th November 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Keir Vine (Portico Quartet) Instance EP £16.00 Genre: Downtempo Label: Trestle SKU: TR035 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Still, The Got It Leftfield / Experimental | Bronzerat | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd April 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Still, The Got It £20.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Bronzerat SKU: SA10 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ben Frost & Daniel Bjarnason Solaris Leftfield / Experimental | Bedroom Community | 1LP Released 23rd February 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Frost & Daniel Bjarnason Solaris £14.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Bedroom Community SKU: HVALUR12LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Phil Julian Trace Leftfield / Experimental | Harbinger Sound | 1LP Released 5th January 2015 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Phil Julian Trace £14.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Harbinger Sound SKU: HARBINGER080 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Spooky Tooth / Pierre Henry Ceremony: An Electronic Mass Electronica | Island | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th June 2021 £30.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Spooky Tooth / Pierre Henry Ceremony: An Electronic Mass £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Island SKU: nn225707 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th June 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Leftfield / Experimental Start again
