Rich Reason & Fantastic Mr Fox Fall

Clocking in here for the first time since their warmly received debut on Hemlock, Rich Reason & Fantastic Mr Fox jerk the Black Acre steering wheel sharply left into a murky new trajectory!

Fall, an ode to the autumnal onset features the lush sound textures that have become the Manc super team’s calling card. Kicking off as a horn blasting bass-lead 130 skanker, Fall proceeds to hoodwink the listener with haunted soul and anomalous artefacts buried deep in the sampledelic mist. A thin line is deftly navigated in combining the muscular low-end with an enriching sound palate, stimulating both body and synapse. Lo-Fi-Ve, walks a longer more arduous path, masquerading initially as a sinuous dose of future garage, the clipped snares and 808 boom will have you on your feet quicker than the ice cream truck. Ever the curve ball pitchers, a Hitchcockian twist abruptly takes us into the obscure. Distant horns and warping bass are bathed in the UV glare of bubbling operatic synth-work climaxing in a cascade of citric sound.
