TINLP002 // Nicky Soft Touch - Lonely City Cuts LP by Shall Not Fade published on 2022-09-15T09:58:53Z Edition of 300 gatefold vinyl: shallnotfade.co.uk/album/lonely-city-cuts-lp Bristol don Nicky Soft Touch makes his eagerly awaited return with the follow up to his last TIN release, Lonely City Sampler. Set for release almost exactly one year on, Lonely City Cuts sees Soft Touch continue in his deft explorations of sampling, chopping and rearranging beats using cuts from helter skelter and sidewinder tapes. Much like his previous release, as well as the self-released projects he’s shared in the meantime, the LP is centred around a DIY aesthetic, making intimacy and introspection two of its defining features. Conceived during a stint living in London, the series is imbued with a sense of place. Delivered via raw production techniques, voice recordings and off-kilter, broken garage beats, this positions the release amongst the moody, urban landscapes which provide the backdrop for Burial and Actress’ music. On Volume One, this sounds like narling basslines that ricochet around swung percussion, and plaintive ambience that immerses you in its shadowy worlds. On Volume Two, like hip hop interludes, deep house grooves and hyper-referential skits. Lonely City Cuts LP drops 2nd December 2022 via Time Is Now.
