On a personal note, I like to think I keep on top of the Scottish indie scene relatively well considering my physical distance from the country. I know about upcoming bands and who’s playing where. Unfortunately, when this CD dropped through my letterbox, I learned there was a whole Scottish electronic scene I was completely oblivious too. For the rest of the world that’s a positive, but I hate being caught unaware.
It turns out The Village Orchestra is Ruaridh Law, an electro experimentalist, and one third of Glasgow-based electronic outfit The Marcia Blaine School For Girls. I now realise the latter have been receiving plenty of plaudits over this past year and are an act to look out for. And judging from this solo project, The Village Orchestra have also got some goodness to offer.
In contrast to the Nanko release reviewed above, The Village Orchestra sit much more comfortably in the ambient category. The songs feel fluid and relaxed, capable of being manipulated slowly into any form Law desires. And that’s exactly what you hear. Tracks build upon themselves step-by-step, taking you on casual journeys then easing themselves back down to 0dB again. Sometimes the sounds are purged from the organic world, sometimes born from distorted scratches, glitches and crunches, but the balance makes for a pretty result.
At 58 minutes, it’s a fairly long piece of work that’s very roomy. But while the songs enjoy long repetitive stretches, the album actually improves as you go through it. Once again, it will be a welcome addition to my Zen Jukebox. Definitely one to check out.
