Warmth Of The Sun

Pye Corner Audio's newest release, Warmth of The Sun, is a four minute edit of a longer seven and a half minute album one, the closing track from an album due out in July called Let's Emerge. Martin Jenkins has moved from the dystopic, submerged/ dark rave he's been putting out in recent times to something much more summery and optimistic, with guitars from Andy Bell (returning the favour of the Pye Corner Audio remixes of The View From Halfway Down a couple of years back). Warmth Of The Sun is all shimmering synths and drones, echo- laden haze and pulsing bass, a cosmic/ shoegaze sound for the summer months. The full seven minute version, all slow build, is here. Martin refers to The Beach Boys, Stereolab and Spacemen 3 for inspiration if you need any further persuasion.

Brilliant. And Andy Bell just makes it brillianter.

It is. And he does.

I've been enjoying the drip-fed monthly releases from Pye Corner Audio so the prospect of an imminent full-length album makes me very, very happy. If Warmth Of The Sun is anything to go by as the closing track, then it's going to be very, very good indeed.
