Review

Ah, Labradford: their reputation recedes them. Since their inception in Richmond, Virginia, in the early 1990s, this studious American trio has faithfully followed their muse into quieter sonic realms, dead set on paring down their hushed drone. The band's sixth album brings them crashing back to earth. Where its predecessor, 1999's E Luxo So, explored spaced-out cosmic dub soundscapes, this is the sound of Labradford returning from the outer planes and delving into windswept Americana. The opening, "Twenty," consists of 18 minutes of mournful digi-country: think of the Twin Peaks theme played while sitting in a rocking chair. The following three tracks bring Fixed::Context to a coma-inducing 37 minutes in length, at which point one is left with a nagging suspicion that nothing's actually happened. Which just indicates that Labradford are nearing a state of conceptual perfection where they're as quiet as they are magnificent. --Louis PattisonSixth album from the Labradford trio, who have been defying explanation and expectations since 1993. The group has earned comparisons to Morricone, Gavin Bryars, Ry Cooder and Arvo Part. Wire magazine says 'their melancholy is enormously seductive'. 4 tracks recorded and mixed with Steve Albini. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.
