MOVIETONE
Peel Sessions
Boomkat Product Review:
From the cradle of Bristol’s influential early ‘90s post-rock scene swirling Crescent, Third Eye Foundation and Flying Saucer Attack; Movietone’s incredible, hushed 1994 Peel Session is made available for the first time - RIYL Hood, Tara Clerkin Trio, Tortoise.
Counting core members Kate Wright & Rachel Brook (Flying Saucer Attack), plus Matt Elliott (The Third Eye Foundation) and a rotating assembly of pals, Movietone yielded a fine handful of albums and singles during their decade of quiet operations 1994-2004 with the likes of Planet Records, Domino and Drag City. Their ‘Peel Sessions’ collects the band’s three sessions for the late, great DJ gate keeper between 1994-1997 and makes them available anywhere for the first time since original broadcast.
It’s all fully charmed & charming stuff, dwelling at a crossroads of styles in a way that was only just starting to be explored, but has fed forward into myriad bands since, with contemporary echoes surely found in last year’s lokey gorgeous LP by another Bristol unit, Tara Clerkin Trio. Throughout the sessions the near-whispered fragility of Kate Wright’s vocals helm the record in the shadows, coolly urged by melodic guitars jangle, snaking jazz-wise basslines, and dusty stickwork that’s at best in ‘Mono Valley’ and the deathly crawl of ‘Heatwave Pavement’, and sees Matt Elliott chime in on the groggy but intense free-jazz-folk of closing beauty ‘Facing West From California’s Shores’ from their final Peel session, despite having left the band years prior by that point.
