Brambles - In The Androgynous Dark

Artist/ Band: Brambles Album: "Charcoal" Released: 2012 Label: "Serein" (UK) Brambles is the solo project of Mark Dawson, born in Britain, permanent resident of Australia and currently living who-knows-where as he travels Europe and beyond. Thanks to a prolific spell of writing from Mark, what was originally pegged as an EP quickly turned into an album. Charcoal is the result of long hours spent recording, editing and mixing. A lot of this material was recorded during his stay at "The Painted Palace" (see the Brambles Forecast mix of the same name), a communal house in Melbourne open to all manner of creative outsiders. Crucially, the house also played home to a piano; during the night-time this was where Brambles sat, working out melodies and making recordings into the small hours. Sometimes the piano is at the forefront (as on the solo piano piece, 'Unsayable'), while at other times it plays a support role to plucked and bowed strings, haunted woodwind instruments, whispered field recordings and distant chimes ('To Speak of Solitude'). These are Dawson's instruments of choice and they recur throughout the whole album, being only occasionally joined by gentle percussion. The use of samples sometimes augments his pieces with atmospheric noise (crashing waves, for example) offering context to the journey he takes you on. For the most part the songs are downtempo and patient. This is undeniably a night-time album, it has that still, peaceful quality to it, the same you get when you walk down a deserted street at night. And despite the slow pace, the music rarely seems melancholic - there's a sense of contentedness which pervades the album from beginning to end. Mark seems very at ease with life and there's a similar spirit to the music. It is deep, thoughtful and optimistic - in the words of Donal Whelan (who mastered the final album), "it's like being wrapped up in a warm blanket". There is a slow Jazz vibe to In The Androgynous Dark, which has a feeling of reflection, of what might have been. It's a quiet and mournful trio of drums, piano and woodwinds (with some electronic atmospherics).
