TRACK PREMIERE : Fionnlagh - In Isolation by Headphone Commute published on 2021-11-22T14:26:12Z I just love the albums the open up the way a film would. Especially a dark, suspenseful, and a little eerie movie, that lets the door swing open and away, and then you fall, propelled by the inertia, into the empty, into the timeless and unknown. There are many fantastic pieces on this 12-track album by Fionnlagh, which comes out tomorrow on Ambientologist imprint. But in the case of this deep cinematic journey, I have chosen to premiere the first. The rest is just as menacing and all evolving, but it’s the door that you must open first before the fall. Among the many recent fantastic releases on this Amsterdam-based label, this one comes as sort of a surprise – their “typical” affair de jour is mostly in the drone and ambient territory (oh, I try so hard not to pigeonhole and label, but it’s tough!), while this debut, What Came Before is even put out with a warning. “Not for the faint of heart. Engage at your own risk” – so states the sign-off on a press release accompanying “a thoroughly immersive and dystopian exploration of sublime vastness” by this London-born and Amsterdam-based composer. Appearing on the dance scene for the many labels, Mark Findlay tries his hand at cinematic music: part soundtrack to our tremendous longing, part echo of the distant and distorted past.
