about

Following 2016’s Rhythm Tree Fell [concrete tapes], PFA sees Carl Brown redeploy for another full length offering, illustrating 4 scenes in 4 corners of Preston, Lancashire.

The release is indebted to a sense of care, illustrated by the quality of collaboration throughout. Beyond features, the carefully curated additions of Jon Aveyard, Sam McLoughlin, Richard T Holmes, and Joshua Horsley demonstrate a meeting of ideas and sensitivity to Preston as a place.

PFA delivers a considered and concise portrait, with restricted instrumentation allowing for greater focus on the evolving subtleties of Aveyard and Brown’s field recordings and the city as a home.

The city is captured in a state of flux, with the listener positioned amidst a landscape midway through change. Throughout PFA, Preston-as-field is placed in measured dialogue with musical arrangements, often with a delicate ambiguity between environmental and instrumental sounds that consistently eschews cliché.
