I'm pretty sure most of you know that the primary purpose of this blog is to serve as a kind of listening diary. I just wanted a way to catalogue the things I loved that I was listening to on Bandcamp. If anyone wanted to ride along, great.
Every once in a while, I want to catalogue something that is outside my normal lane. People Like Us (Vicki Bennett - London, England) has been making audio collages since the early 1990s, and while that doesn't sound like something I would normally like, I found myself listening to the newest People Like Us album, "Copia" over and over. In ways it reminds me of a similar feeling I get when I listen to The Caretaker or Foxi Euler Sydikat (Frischluft! Tonträger - if you want to listen to a great compilation from 2020, here you are).
For this album, Bennett collaborated "with the voices, instruments and editing timelines of Matmos, Hearty White, Gwilly Edmondez, Lottie Bowater, Buttress O’Kneel, Douglas Benford, Irene Moon, Jon Leidecker, and Matt Warwick."
"Copia" was released last year by British label Discrepant.
