Scrimshire At Juno Download

Review: Although we've had no shortage of releases on his own Wah-Wah 45s label, it's been a while since we've had one from label boss Adam Scrimshire himself. Well the wait's almost over as his new album "Bight" is expected very soon. In the meantime we have this lead single, "Convergent", which is a sultry slice of widescreen indie electronica production. Yosi Horikawa's remix really awakens the latent pop song hidden deep within the original. Meanwhile Blue Movies go synthpop and Mazoulew and brittle acoustic beats in their versions.

Review: A much-anticipated return from producer Adam Scrimshire, who follows up 2008's "Along Came The Devil One Night" with the excellent funk, roots, soul and psych-rock of The Hollow LP. The guest vocalists Scrimshire has coaxed onto the album provide some of the most memorable moments, such as Heidi Vogel (from Cinematic Orchestra) adding to the Ethio-funk of "Everything You Say" or Faye Houston's turn on the mournful "Home". However, instrumental moments such as the epic, slo-mo jazz of "Ajar" prove to be the album's real heart and a testament to the giant steps in Scrimshire's production.
