David Prescott Another instant classic. This one is excellent in blending truly beautiful backgrounds with just the right kind of beats. Engaging, upbeat, pleasant, but not in the sense of sweet, maudlin or trying to be pretty. It's funny -- CH releases often pride themselves on pushing the boundaries of music into new and sometimes challenging directions. It's easy to overlook just how lovely the music can be. Favorite track: Sea Smoke [DCO Excavation].

about

1983, the debut release by Coppice Halifax, recorded in 2006, and issued in three distinctly different and limited editions, the latest of which was nine years ago in 2010, on a 120-minute cassette tape. Each iteration of 1983 expanded on the original four tracks, and this fourth reinstatement is no different, with a 60+ minute excavation of Sea Smoke, conjured from the crumbling towers of memory that 1983 resides in and laid to tape in the White Pillar Workshop, almost 600 miles away from Lake Busbee itself.

When Sun Cast was nearing completion in 2018, after eight years of recording work, relocation, parenthood and studio changes, I became aware of the fate of Lake Busbee and the electric plant next to it, that I canonized as totemic representations of my work, just like the Columbia water tower or my father's home in rural Loris, both of which also graced many different covers across years. The plant was demolished, and the lake drained and converted into swampland, instilling in me a deep sense of loss. That place was a synaesthetic focus point for me - I'd visit it in lucid dreams, and from those experiences came the sounds of 1983. To my mind, 1983 IS that place, transmuted and distilled into the final remnant, a mnemonic artifact.

So, I decided it was a perfect time to reissue 1983, one more time. 13 years after its creation, it remains a monument within the Halifaxian landscape, visible from just about any other plot in those overgrown acres and psychedelic waves. This is the first time the expanded 12-track material has been issued on CD-R, and as stated previously, it also includes a third disc, an offering at the temple, vaporized and chanted until the next time around. The ritual is over, the vision passed and the evidence etched into yet another milkwhite plastic galaxy maker.
