Album info

“I saw Christina Carter live a few years ago at a microplex in Bristol. It blew my mind. I had to get the new tape on Belgian label Bread and Animals/Cauliflower dreams, a reissue of one of Carter’s live shows.

So it seems tapes are not redundant in these CDR days. I like the way you cannot skip tracks on a tape. I like the way tape compression makes music misty. “Planets” tape is spray-painted pink and purple, looks like it won’t play in a tape player, and is almost as beautiful as Carter’s shimmering vapour trail guitar playing.

Side A features 3 pieces under the name “Planets”, all parts of one long song. Mysterious, atonal sprays of notes sum up this side. The playing wanders and searches, before finding something, a small unit of sound, and focussing on it/repeating it. It sounds like exploring a lunar landscape, unknown and foreboding.

After the first part a change takes place. There is some lovely chiming guitar playing, like discovering an oasis on the moon with flowers in bloom. Then things get tense again. Part three launches into something visceral and creaky, a blackhole dirge, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE HERE. Then there is space and calm again. A strange and abstract side.

Side B is more personal and intimate. Alone-in-the-dark mantras from the subconscious. “(Houston)” is hushed and broods over the same notes, with soft vocals. A passionate version of “Here Nothere” then emerges out of a disparate chord pattern. (Carter’s music would not be so forceful as to pull something pre-defined like a song out of thin air; it must emerge naturally out of something else.) Underneath the sung words, guitar bubbles away like lava.

The tape ends on “WS” where slide guitar makes arcs of tone, negative space and slow decay. Carter’s voice sounds more secretive, like a door has been briefly opened and then closed again. A spider sitting in its web staring blankly at you. 9/10″ – Matt Lindley (Foxy Digitalis)
