Lawrence English A COLOUR FOR AUTUMN (2009)



A resonant ambient more refined than famous contemporaries Stars of the Lid, who got often go theatrical (and end up trite) to justify their bloated album lengths.  A museum full of Rothkos and Newmans and windows. Mr. English had a solid album last year- CRUEL OPTIMISM (2017)- which feels more immediate and Hecker-ian, but right now I'd prefer an escape hatch to a gondola ride over the ruins.
