   About Leverton Fox




The sound of bile and Molotov cocktails being transferred into binary code. Suprisingly enjoyable in it’s catharsis… it’s like listening in to extraterrestrial radio…’
**** subba-culture

“…an absolutely awesome album…”
Jonny Mugwump, Exotic Pylon, Resonance FM

Judging by looks alone, on first glance Country Dances could be the next alt-country hit. Delving deep into Leverton Fox's sound world, however, reveals a beast far removed from anything alt or country. For their debut release, this trio of London, UK improvisers have unleashed a hydra-headed song cycle that fuses synthetic electronics with acoustic instruments, mainly drums and trumpet. Country Dances is an intricate assemblage of sounds, a hyper-real adventure in texture. The earlier, mostly electronic tracks feature great fountains of sound exploding from unknown sources. In contrast, "Spectre & Wagon" and "The Spume" are rife with fluid, almost funky, drumming courtesy of Tim Giles. Country Dances is a vibrant record, as colourful sonically as the cover art is visually. Its appealing fusion of aspects both synthetic and organic provides a highly rewarding listening experience----Exclaim.ca! June 2009 by Bryon Hayes

‘…the Foxsters have not lost touch with the keystone of live playing and interaction, which underpins all of these oddities.’
The Sound Generator

Despite its folksy title, there is little that's rustic about London jazz/electronics trio Leverton Fox's debut album - but there is much that's organic, if we take organic to mean the dances of cells meeting and dividing or the rhythms of fractal fern growth. Alex Bonney, Tim Giles and Matt Groom use live percussion and brass alongside processed field recordings and pure electronics to create tense, exploratory pieces that recall both early Radiophonics Workshop experiments and, particularly on 'Spume', the meld of acoustic and electronic sound that shapes Herbie Hancock's Sextant. The album's first half is scuttling and gently abrasive, each player poised to contribute clicks, scrapes, brief drones and a grab-bag of modulated electronic sounds used to similar effect by Supersilent. Comparisons to the Norwegian improvising group make more sense as the longer, gentler but noise-inflected 'N4 Comedown' surges into a complex, infectious rhythm. Like them, Leverton Fox stake out the relationship between more idiomatic improvised music, noise and electronica, but do so using a deeply enjoyable vocabulary that, despite the impressive pedigrees of all members, seems at all times full of the edgy joy of discovery.

Bridget Hayden CDR (ROWF16) out now

Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.

Limited to 80 copies with sleeves printed on recycled paper using soya based ink

Pay by Paypal to goldenlabrecordings@hotmail.co.uk

£5.99 (UK)

£6.99 (Europe)

£7.99 (USA/Canada/R.o.W.)
