<a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/music/audiobooks-now-in-a-minute">audiobooks - Now! (in a minute)</a>

audiobooks. audiobooks. What can you say about audiobooks that does them any justice? The London-based pair have already done so much that audiobooks is but a chapter in their ongoing story. But what a chapter.

Walking the tightrope between ultra-realism and surreal concept art, Now! (in a minute) is a fever-dream journey through daily life and the inner-thoughts of Evangeline Ling and David Wrench. Prosaic and deadpan, akin to Human League, disquieting and hypnotic, just like The Fall. Ling's exploration of her art is grounded and aided by Wrench's sense for melody, texture and fun.

This whirlwind of synths, screams, poetry - and even coughing fits - may not be to everyone's taste but this was never the intention. Now! (in a minute)is a 'push it to the limits' test for both the band and the listener.

Albums of the Month - November 2018

Doug Paisley's album Starter Home. Available here on LP with Bonus 7", Standard LP and Standard CD.

Doug recorded this (his first album in five years) in his Toronto hometown in various studios around the city. He’s previously played as ‘Dark Hand And Lamplight’ (with artist Shary Boyle), as a duo called Russian Literature (with Chuck Erlichman) and in a Stanley Brothers tribute act.

The lonesome cry of a lap steel guitar is comforted by the soothing warm vocals of Doug Paisley. The occasional ripple of lachrymose keys. Subtle licks of harmony. Music that’s melancholic but cathartic and soothing. A few more uptempo tracks come along but still have the minor cry of guitars and sweet backing vocals.

LP+ - Includes 7" with Two Bonus Tracks.
