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 Etron Fou Leloublan Les Trois Fou’s Perdegagnent Leftfield / Experimental | Replica | 180g, 1LP Released 8th May 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Etron Fou Leloublan Les Trois Fou’s Perdegagnent £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Replica SKU: RPC04 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Petite Noir MotherFather Leftfield / Experimental | Roya | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th April 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Petite Noir MotherFather £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Roya SKU: ROYA013LPC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Group Listening Piano & Clarinet: Selected Works Vol. 1 Leftfield / Experimental | Prah Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th May 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Group Listening Piano & Clarinet: Selected Works Vol. 1 £16.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Prah Recordings SKU: PRAH013LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Requiem For A World After Electronica | 1LP Released 11th January 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Requiem For A World After £22.00 Genre: Electronica SKU: MENT009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th January 2017 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 Ash Koosha I Aka I Leftfield / Experimental | Ninja Tune | 1LP Released 4th June 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ash Koosha I Aka I £16.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Ninja Tune SKU: ZEN228 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th June 2016 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 Asa-Chang & Junray Jun Ray Song Chang Leftfield / Experimental | Leaf | 1LP, Includes CD Released 29th January 2016 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Asa-Chang & Junray Jun Ray Song Chang £14.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Leaf SKU: BAY22V Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Hexadic III Electronica | Drag City | 1LP Released 23rd February 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Hexadic III £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Drag City SKU: DC695 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Saint Abdullah & Jason Nazary Evicted In The Morning Leftfield / Experimental | Disciples | 1LP Released 24th February 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Saint Abdullah & Jason Nazary Evicted In The Morning £20.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Disciples SKU: DISC19 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Leftfield / Experimental Start again
