The Bit ist die zweite Zusammenarbeit zwischen Aidan Baker (Nadja / Hypnodrone Ensemble), Simon Goff (Jóhann Johannsson / Hildur Gudnadottir) und Thor Harris (Swans, Shearwater, Thor & Friends). In Anlehnung an das Noplace-Album von 2017 geht The Bit einen ähnlichen Weg in Bezug auf den Aufnahmeprozess, als das Trio einen Tag lang auf einer Europatournee in den Voxton Studios in Berlin improvisierte. Das Ergebnis wurde dann bearbeitet und zu sechs hypnotischen Tracks geformt, die mit Schönheit und Leichtigkeit abfließen.
Sales Information:
The Bit is the second recorded collaboration between Aidan Baker (Nadja / Hypnodrone Ensemble), Simon Goff (Jóhann Johannsson / Hildur Gudnadottir) and Thor Harris (Swans, Shearwater, Thor & Friends).
Following on from 2017’s Noplace album, The Bit treads a similar path in terms of the recording process as the trio spent a day improvising at Voxton Studios in Berlin whilst on a European tour. The result was then edited and moulded into six hypnotic tracks that ebb and flow with beauty and ease.
The Bit finds the trio painting with a lighter touch than on its predecessor. Thor Harris’ motorik beats still underpin the music but the atmospherics take a more prominent role and there is a pure and cohesive path to be found throughout the record. Much like on Noplace, Baker’s guitar and Goff’s violin weave together beautifully, forming a deep bed of melody, ambience and reverb.
Given the trios credentials it’s not surprising they have created another immersive and stunning record.
