Quiet Thud
North View Records is an emerging Bristol-based label that values the musicâs atmosphere and integrity equal to itâs technical production, aiming to resonate with listeners through immersive electronic soundscapes. For their debut release, label founder oliver presents Quiet Thud, an album inspired by expansive and untamed coastline. The 11 tracks take a hallucinatory trip through techno, downtempo, ambient and guitar-led music, drawing on diverse influences whilst remaining distinctive and ethereal.
âCloser [Thud Mix]â and âNew Lightâ introduce panoramic soundscapes to club focused tracks, with warped electronics and swelling wide-angle pads giving contrast to the fine-grain textures and driving percussive elements. Tracks such as âPlazaâ, âRibbonâ and âJoyrideâ lend a nostalgic character to the album, presenting wistful and distant melodies that interplay with the off-hand live instrumentation, building a gentle and nuanced sonic palette.
âRuinâ balances delicate arpeggios with pulsing distortion and drum programming, evoking a brooding scene fitting of its title. Album closer âDRM [Reprise]â also explores darker themes, led by a piercing vocal emulation that warps and evolves amongst sparse percussion. In contrast, âStill Lifeâ, âEverythingâ, âCoastalâ and âOvergroundâ bring warmth and balance to the overall experience, offering moments of lightness and reflection as the clouds break, sunlight spilling across the open landscape.
