Two tracks will be familiar to the discerning folk who grabbed Delia’s first release, label compilation ‘The Horizon Is On The Horizon’, which showcased the glassy, sparkling polyrhythms of ‘A Fixed Point’ and the epically-emotional, androids-in-love of ‘Tenori Respira’. In the words of the band – “These pristine recollections are a means to delve into the soul of space; to link earth, tuning peg, ears and fern. To give emotional latitude for musicians dipping their toes into cartography. To put our locale under the magnifying glass in the form of a vibrational tonic. Take a listen to the lakeside sunset or the moon on the lagoon and nod to their computer rhythms. For, if you let them, these familiar ghosts will walk you down private roads and ferry you across algae-filled waters”.

Album opener and closer ‘The White Barred Emperor’ brings to mind nature writer Roger Deakin’s thought that moths and butterflies are “a bonus to the flowers, as though nature were admiring her own work”, although in Brown Fang’s world the butterflies metamorphosise from physical-natural to audio-digital.

 Brown Fang is acclaimed musicians John Thompson (JIM, Bent, Attraktors, Scott 4, Crazy P, The Selecter, Nectarine No.9 and Idris Elba) and Henry Claude Scott (Never Ending Birthdays, Davoli, Jimi Mack) – bass and lead guitar respectively for Delia band Torn Sail.

 In a live setting, the surprise that two musicians can conjure and control such a multi-layered, performance gives way to a heavier, more insistent groove, with Thompson’s sub-octave bass clockwork-groove locked to the drum machine, and Scott’s Telecaster soaring and transforming above. Kosmische Musik maybe an overused term, but this is probably the closest you’ll get to the sound inside Conny’s Studio.
