Liz Meredith - Repro

The mind's eye has awakened. The first track on Liz Meredith's new solo LP has perforated the consciousness. Her viola, like a serrated knife, slowly moving back and forth with gentle pressure. The process causing a seam in dimensional perception, the pressure of sounds forcing thoughts through this incision. The new space of higher consciousness is both rejected and welcomed, a listening plateau difficult to attain and well revered once ascended. The complete sounds of this new full length vinyl, a weightier ordeal than just listening to two sides of one LP.

Side one of Repro is amazingly heavy while maintaining such stark minimalism. Liz's patterns of sound, highly focused vibrations emitting vivid aural lines for thoughts to cross. Organic expressive creations, an equatorial bath of red lining temperate conditions. The insect world sharply etching impressions of their omnipresence in placid humid nights. Thankfully repeated listens help temper sonic circumstances, an ensuing comfort covers the spirit with each listen through the gratuitous dimensional passage Liz has created. With the flip and needle drop, the second side establishes perspectives opened by the two preceding tracks. The mind no longer compressed and channeled through meditative worm holes, space has stabilized with tones embodying placidity. The third track and also the sample provided with this description, is the closest to equilibrium Liz Meredith travels. A lengthy eleven minute sojourn to a place introspection can flourish. A drone piece resting on a high mesa, listening to the valley of worlds below. The composition finishes with a fourth selection, a distant ripple from side one, a lucid echo of strident beginnings now heard in consummated context.

Released on black vinyl by the long lived label s P L e e N C o F F i N. This is their forty seventh release in over fifteen years. From looking through the catalog, this will be the label's first offering in a few years. It is easy to use the cliche' here, "well worth the wait", but sayings like this might not effectively impart how discreetly beautiful Repro really is. Please have this one one your radar for it's April 6th unfastening.
