about

MAT is proud to announce the forthcoming release of ‘The Side I Never See’, by Hugh Small & Brian Allen Simon. Hugh forms half of Scottish post-punk duo Vazz, whose work was the subject of a recent retrospective by Belgian label Stroom. Brian is known best for his solo project Anenon, under which name he has released four full length albums and multiple remixes for artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto.

An improvised recording of Brian playing over the Vazz piece ‘Kazimierz’ catalysed this long-distance collaboration; 2000 feet up a mountain in Andalucia, Hugh heard the recording on a broadcast of Brian’s dublab LA radio show. Immediately taken in by Brian’s playing, the pair soon established contact and began discussing the possibility of working to create something new together. The rest, as they say, is history. The results are fully realised in ‘The Side I Never See’, a shimmering suite of ten compositions for piano, saxophone, synthesizer and guitar. In Hugh’s words… ‘so, what is it? It’s Ambient-Punk, Abstract-Jazz, Disaffected-Classical, it’s whatever the fuck you want it to be!’ :-)

‘The Side I Never See’ will be released on Melody As Truth in late July 2021.

I am totally enamored by this hazy shoegazey pop-esque record by the perennially tasteful Suzanne Kraft. Fits somewhere in the intersection of The Durutti Column and My Bloody Valentine. An instant windows-down-and-glide classic. Charlie Moonbeam

futuristic ambient moods...this music conjures up glimmers of good things in the otherwise dark and oppressive Blade Runner universe (without sounding at all derivative of anything else). really nice! Scott

I fell in love with this album on first listen, and with the other work by Nash as time went by. I dare say this artist has forged a new sub-genre: Champagne Ambient Michael K. Gause
