SHADOWS IN BLUE 2LP

A-Side Canopy Shy The World Is New Again Sense Inversion B-Side Shadows In Blue Lanacut Sol C-Side Lanes Cutie D-Side Ghost of Akina (Rainbow Edition) One Last Dance INFO Hodge follows releases on labels such as Livity Sound, Berceuse Heroique and Peach Discs with his debut LP ˜Shadows In Blue™. After including a track on Houndstooth™s 2018 comp ˜IDDK™ he delivers an album inspired by old prog rock album covers, a new-found love of plants and gardening, and science fiction literature. The work is awash in earthy psychedelia; tracks shimmer with the sounds of birdsong, natural percussion and visions of a future in which nature has taken back an artificial world. The abundance of natural influences does not detract from Hodge™s ability to write solid dance floor rhythms however. On the soaring lead track, ˜Ghost of Akina™, he performs unspooling frenetic breaks from a dreamlike stance.
