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 Hauschka 2.11.14 Leftfield / Experimental | City Slang | 1LP Released 22nd June 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hauschka 2.11.14 £16.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50081 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd June 2015 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 View Product Quick View Pole Tempus Leftfield / Experimental | Mute | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th November 2022 £30.00 - £33.00 Select options Pole Tempus £30.00 - £33.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Mute Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Van Kaye + Ignit A Slight Delay (Reissue) Leftfield / Experimental | Dark Entries | 2LP Released 6th April 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Van Kaye + Ignit A Slight Delay (Reissue) £22.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Dark Entries SKU: DE083LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spacebomb House Band Known About Town: Library Music Compendium One Leftfield / Experimental | Spacebomb | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd August 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spacebomb House Band Known About Town: Library Music Compendium One £16.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Spacebomb SKU: SB028 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Classroom Classroom Leftfield / Experimental | Finders Keepers | 1LP Released 8th September 2023 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Classroom Classroom £24.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Finders Keepers SKU: FKR116LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ben Frost V A R I A N T Electronica | Mute | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 8th December 2014 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Frost V A R I A N T £9.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE525 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 8th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sun Araw Belomancie Leftfield / Experimental | Drag City | 2LP Released 17th February 2014 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sun Araw Belomancie £18.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Drag City SKU: SA033 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jozef Van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch An Attempt To Draw Aside The Veil – Indies Only Limited Edition Leftfield / Experimental | Sacred Bones Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th February 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jozef Van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch An Attempt To Draw Aside The Veil – Indies Only Limited Edition £23.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Sacred Bones Records SKU: SBR218LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hans Edler Elektron Kukeso Leftfield / Experimental | Wah Wah | 1LP, Includes Insert Released 22nd July 2014 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hans Edler Elektron Kukeso £24.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Wah Wah SKU: LPS136 Formats: 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 22nd July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Leftfield / Experimental Start again
