Laurie Tompkins
Fatty
Boomkat Product Review:
Seriously splayed modern compositional left turns from UK composer Laurie Tompkins, with additional material from Teresa Winter, Gwilly Edmondez, Eliza McCarthy, Jess Hickie-Kallenbach, Aaron Parker and Otto Willberg.
Slip boss Tompkins - who's recorded in the past with cellist Oliver Coates and bassist Otto Willberg - has assembled an impressive cast of friends to assist on "Fatty". He describes the set as "a desperate suite of consoling, tanked songs" but that barely scratches the surface. The first composition 'Agdum Cresh' features Death of Rave alum Teresa Winter on production, who accompanied Tompkins' FM-damaged moans with strangled electronics, decomposing strings and early electronic vortexes. Willberg dials in a grungy backdrop on 'Kelly', plucking out oscillating riffs while Tompkins karaoke screams through paper, sounding like a broken kazoo in a shower cubicle.
Somehow, Jess Hickie-Kellenbach drives Tompkins even further into the fringes, matching his gurgling vocals and electric violin scrapes with operatic moans. None of this material is easy to digest, but all of it tests the limits of our expectation: what do we want from a song? What do we need? On closing track 'Dreams', Tompkins duets with regular collaborator Eliza McCarthy, crying evocatively over pitch-damaged piano tones that sound trapped in time. It's folk or jazz music beamed in from another universe.
