All of the emotions I can never quite find the words to express seem to exist effortlessly within April Magazine’s hushed melodies and glacial textures. Each release further refines their unmatched lofi beauty, making Falling Window their most affecting release to date.
As is customary, Falling Window’s enveloping wash of sound is best experienced in a full sitting, making the singling out of individual tracks different. Having said that, Katiana Mashikian’s breathtaking wordless melodies on As You Turn are a worthy entry point for the uninitiated, as is the languid acoustic driven wonder of the Peter Hurley fronted Hollow Stars.
Capturing the DIY spirit of the Bay Area underground at its fullest and most free, April Magazine channel all of life’s highs, lows, light and darkness through their captivating soundworlds. Essential.
Falling Window is available for digital download here. You can pick up a very limited tape edition via World Of Echo here.
