Manyfingers – The Spectacular Nowhere
Credited for:
- Mixing and co-mixing several tracks
- Additional drum recording and production work
Manyfingers’ third album ‘The Spectacular Nowhere’ is the work of multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Chris Cole (Movietone, ex-Third Eye Foundation), the album also features vocal contributions from ex-Moonshake frontman and former PJ Harvey collaborator, Dave Callahan.
Described by Joseph Stannard writing for The Wire: Adventures in Modern Music as:
“…a spectacularly energising tribute to Moondog that also evokes the frantic repetitions of Hardin’s disciple Philip Glass”, “…adeptly tying together threads of modern composition, agit-pop and smartly orchestrated noise.”
Praise is also given to the album’s “stubbornly subjective adherence to its own worldview, the chamber-like arrangements, the degree of detail to the sound”.
Manyfingers’ ‘The Spectacular Nowhere’ is available on Ici D’ailleurs/Mind Travels.
