listencorp track-by-track review

listencorp has a really incisive track-by-track review of LF17 / Edinburgh up. Here’s what they had to say about “Calton Road Cobblestones:”

‍Calton Road Cobblestones ends Elizabeth Joan Kelly’s sonic exploration of a small patch of Edinburgh’s ground, taking the listener to a spare and empty space that opens up slightly through the wandering keys, frigid noise, mulling synth pads and emotive strings that close off the song. It’s an ending that lets free-wheeling melodies speak to the aura of Edinburgh, encapsulating the ominous yet rich spirit of the city.

Read the full review at listencorp.co.uk, and many thanks to Louis Pelingen for such an inspired piece.

The Wire Review

It’s such an honor to be featured in The Wire, and this month’s review from Spenser Tomson is just wonderful. An excerpt:

“Calton Hill” sounds weirdly like the more ambient sections of Queen’s soundtrack for Flash Gordon; “Princes Street Gardens” traces a stroll not through the city streets but the shallow tropical lagoons which came long before. Given a set of urban field recordings, it’s reasonable to expect the result might be far less fantastical and strange, but Kelly always finds weirdness in the everyday.

Read the whole issue (maybe with the help of your local library)? at The Wire website.

ANTIGRAVITY Review

An absolutely lovely review of LF17 / Edinburgh in one of my personal favorite New Orleans publications, ANTIGRAVITY Magazine. An excerpt:

The three electro ambient tracks, each named after a location in Edinburgh where the original field recordings were made (“Calton Hill,” “Princes Street Gardens,” “Calton Road Cobblestones”), are soothing and otherworldly, occasionally employing synthesizers to flirt with more unsettling undertones. The end result only hints at the original recordings, Kelly’s production leaving the faintest memory of the actual time and place, like stepping into a dream reality.

Many thanks to ANTIGRAVITY and Mary Beth Campbell for this. Catch the whole thing, plus reviews of Kim Gordon, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Hurray For The Riff Raff, and more on the ANTIGRAVITY website.
