Quartz Cassette

Quartznbspis the third album fromnbspFader, a duo consisting of Neil Arthur and Benge, whose work includes his own solo albums, coproduction with Gazelle Twin and Blancmange, plus being a member of three other critically acclaimed bands ndash Wrangler, Creep Show and John Foxx And The Maths.As with their 2017 debutnbspFirst Light, the music fornbspthe new albumnbspwas recorded and mixed at Bengersquos Memetune Studios while Arthur worked on lyrics,nbspvocals and some additional soundsnbspin his home studio.Quartznbspis a reflective, elegiac recordnbspthat has the elegance of clockwork and a structure where all the parts fit together in subtle detail. There are references to time but the spiralling melodic patterns that form the basis of the songs paradoxically create a sense of timelessness.
