I literally can’t wait for this exciting essay album from new Hyperdub sub-label Flatlines.

On Vanishing Land lies very closely to my own film project on vanishing coasts in the UK, and it features two of my favourite writers talking about ghosts and coasts - Mark Fisher (RIP) and Justin Barton.  Music looks alright too ;) Newly composed tracks by John Foxx, Gazelle Twin, Baron Mordant, Raime, Pete Wiseman, Farmers of Vega, Skjolbrot, Eerie Anglia, Ekoplekz and Dolly Dolly https://hyperdub.bandcamp.com/album/mark-fisher-justin-barton-on-vanishing-land

the mirror of your sphere of spheroambience 

dissolves, you travelled once to the high-above-the-ground, 

a blue of sky, of breathing, a lightning and humming air of silence

and then in after-deluge puddles you saw the sky and were turned around

to seeing the wing of cloud in your mirror, breathing that sky

that all-around-you summer blue, shimmering and clouded with glittering dust

you went to the high-above-the-cities, and you were planetary

you knew that in the crumbling brick, the ivy, the sun-suffused rust 

was the doorway, around you the petals caress, the gossamer

gently flexes, singing of the forest, and you step out of the sphere

of the mirror, woken into the poise and kindness, into the summer

of the escape-path traveller, beyond the self-condemning fear

into the forest, with its houses and friendships, beyond the grey violence

of self-reflection are intent and energy, the message was the sky, the sky and silence.

“A summer warmth has broken through in spring”, as two men take a daylong walk along East England’s Suffolk coastline, from Felixstowe container terminal – “a nerve ganglion of capitalism”, past the Bawdsey Manor radar base – “a place of relative social freedom” where a large number of women operatives were recruited during WW2, to the famous Anglo-Saxon ship burial site at Sutton Hoo. They are…
