TOUCH 014EP
|
Five track EP inspired by Irish folklore of mistaken burial, and with input from Will Carruthers, introduces sparkling synthesized passages and an organic "cosmic-blues" to Documenta's already lush sonic expanse. The Lady With The Ring EP sees Documenta's regular seven-piece lineup temporarily swell with narration from author and musician Will Carruthers providing counterpoint to Roisin Stewart's hazed vocals as she tells the story from the dead woman's lips. Self-recorded in one weekend a stone's throw from McCall's grave and subsequently re-worked and shaped by the group. RIYL: Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star.

TOUCH 004LP
|
2015 release. Drone Pop #1 is the second album by cosmic drone-pop septet Documenta. Recorded over four days at Start Together Studios Belfast by Ben McAuley and the band, it also features additional production from David Holmes on "Love As A Ghost". Influenced by the English guitar minimalism emanating from 1980s Rugby, the darkness and light of Detroit's hit factory, and the German Kosmische set's concrète groove - Documenta present a true psychedelia through repetition, melody, and rhythm. A patient year-long process of experimentation and mixing - where the group added "washing machines, aircraft and the sound of Saturday night" - encouraged a fuller overall feel and a marked sonic progression. Documenta on the release: "We experimented at home quite a bit before returning to the studio so we got to stretch our imagination. We're constantly learning as a band and this seemed like the next musical step." Soul music in outer space. Comes on a colored LP.
