about

Front & Follow present the fourth in our series of split releases bringing together two of our favourite artists. Volume 4 features the wonderful Jodie Lowther and A.R.C. Soundtracks. ‘The Blow’ project brings two artists together to formulate a collaborative release of their own making. Each artist has a side of audio to do whatever they want with.

A.R.C. Soundtracks’ side, called ‘Taken Up & Dissolved’, is a series of interlinked passages forming a single unbroken track. From clanking rhythmic sections to pulsing deep bass tones, these sound pieces are overlaid with melodic vocal samples from Jodie throughout, some recognisable, others hazily processed into harmonic drones. Partly inspired by the mythic-space of the Upper Calder Valley, the corrosive lap steels, repetitive piano sustains and spoken word cut-ups (taken from Otto Bollnow’s 1963 tract 'Human Space') suggest the topography and disappearances of the locality. Across the half hour, the stuttering electronics and slow-moving whirrs resolve into a lullaby refrain as the duo trek up and out of the valley.
