MISCELLANY
New Album: OUT NOW
PRESS
for Miscellany
"What makes the album work so beautifully is that Hill does not just explore the sonic properties of sundry objects and instruments for the novelty of it, but more so it seems to discover the full range of their musicality...The various sounds and textures are tightly woven into nimble rhythmic structures and fused with lush instrumentation, engaging melodies, and a friendly pastoral warmth that makes it a true pleasure to listen to." - Stationary Travels
​
"A quiet phenomenon, touching on the brilliance of Penguin Cafe Orchestra and simultaneously aligning itself on parallel with ‘environmental’ ambient music from Japan."
​
"The stereo effects are sublime, especially on the crunchy “Zoo,” which we’re guessing is the track that includes forest brambles. And the album is being released at the right time, despite its long gestation; the set sounds like spring, and even includes a track by that name (made with real birds), as well as “Swan in the Sand,” which celebrates the return of our feathered friends. “Fracture” splits the difference between rhythmic and sedate, and is a fine choice for a single. But as the album establishes a stable pace and mood, building to a horn-filled finale, it’s best imbibed as a whole: the comforting comeback of a favorite friend."
