about

Pale Ribbons Tossed into the Dark are proud to present their debut, self-titled album.

Each player is heavily involved in Boorloo/Perth’s exploratory music scene, Lee as a jazz bandleader (jalan jalan, Rif Mountain), Feakes as a guitarist in various projects (Heathcote Blue, GreyWing Ensemble), and Terren as an experimental electronic musician and pianist. Together, their work is informed by traditions like post rock, ambient, improvised music and electroacoustic music, while unbeholden to any of them. Their performances in 2022 have included a 90-minute sunrise concert on the top floor of WA Museum Boola Bardip, and support slots for Erasers’ and Gilded’s album launches.

Pale Ribbons Tossed into the Dark was realised between 2018 and 2022 in Boorloo/Perth. It condenses their sprawling improvisations into six pieces that are both expansive and impeccably detailed. Encounters with nature are a theme alluded to in the pieces’ titles, but the album defies simple interpretation, drawing attention to its own artifice with heavily multi-tracked instrumental parts, keyboards that evoke the sound of adult contemporary ballads, and blistering synthesis and noise.

The album is not, however, a dry and experimental work. Its soundworld is lush, with dense textural flourishes and perfectly-poised melodic sensibilities from each member of the band. From Lee’s feverish performance in “The Creak,” to the knotty guitar work of Feakes in “Pointed Relief,” to the slow and vast crescendo of “Fable Guide,” there is much to sink into here. This assured debut album announces a group with a unique vocabulary and exciting trajectory.

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
