Under guises A BROKEN CONSORT, CAROUSELL and HEIDIKA, RICHARD SKELTON
has become a celebrated new artist of the UK underground. ‘Marking Time’ is Skelton’s first release under his own name and outside of his own label, Sustain -Release . Skelton has been a feted artist in The Wire with reviews and articles as well as influential web press.
For fans of THE NECKS, STARS OF THE LID, KRANKY label, ECM label.
‘Marking Time’ is his first work under his own name, and also the first to be released on a label other than his own, Sustain-Release. Through the prolific output on Sustain-Release, Richard has created a singular vision with his music: a sound that is at once complex and elemental in its questing nature, corporal feel and ultimately life-affirming quality. As The Wire writes, Richard’s music “inhabits landscapes – both physical and emotional – etched with memory and loss”.
‘Marking Time’ represents a new beginning for Richard and finds him at his most direct and intimate, slowly turning on relatively bare textures of bowed strings, piano and guitar. A meditation on loss and the passing of time, its measure of transcendence accumulates in instrumental passages that work like gestures drifting towards a sense of space both rich and real. Limited edition deluxe packaging featuring unique, award-winning design. Posters available.
