ジョン・フェイヒィ及びサー・リチャード・ビショップ好きに大大大推薦!!1990年にNo Fans Recordsを始動、そこからほぼペースを落とす事なく弾き語りからコンクレートまで膨大な数の録音を残してきたUKの大ベテランRichard Youngs。2021年6月に録音されたばかりの新作ソロが、80年代より存在する老舗レーベルFourth Dimension Recordsより早くも音盤化!!版元が氏の最高傑作の一つと語る通り、穏やかさと実験要素が絶妙なバランスで存在する名曲揃いのアルバムで、野外レコーディングされたギター、鳥のさえずり、テープループ、FMラジオが繊細なギタープレイとミックスされる崇高なサウンドスケープ。お見逃しなく。



New album from Richard Youngs that, similar to a lot of his work, happened fairly spontaneously following our having heard one of Richard's sketches utilising a Spanish guitar during the spring of 2021 and being duly impressed. We then proposed releasing a CD album of such work, where Richard uses the same guitar alongside real-time street sounds, birdsong, tape loops, synth, FM radio and runout grooves to create a setting that's comparatively gentler than most of his work thus far on Fourth Dimension Records.

'Iker', meaning 'visitation' in Basque (and pronounced more like 'eeker', apparently!), collects five songs wilfully displaying Richard's prowess with the guitar whilst placing his delicate strumming of it alongside subtle elements that accord the proceedings with a hue unmistakably his own. If interested in the more stripped-down approach of some of John Fahey's work or Sir Richard Bishop's own impressionist playing then 'Iker' should tick all the boxes.

Moreover, though, this is just another great album from one of the best eclectic musicians the UK has produced during the past few decades.
