Trig Point by Cub\cub
Following on from September’s unforgettable Memory Bliss, Cub\cub re-calibrates and goes back to where it all began. Much acclaimed on BOC forum twoism.org, Trig Point was Cub\cub’s debut offering back in 2017. Originally confined to audio files, shared amongst forum enthusiasts, this updated official 2020 release has been revived from the artist's hard drive, polished and lovingly remastered to create a brand new Compact Disc edition. Beautifully conceived, studded with breath-taking highs, Trig Point clearly charts Cub\cub's sure-footed first foray into his sublime lo-fi collage of ethereal electronica. This is an absolute must for all Cub\cub aficionados and curious path-finders alike.
Electronic Sound review:
TrigPoint
These charming, woozy recordings
by Leeds producer Joshua Hughes
first circulated on a Boards Of
Canada forum in 2017, but have now
been polished for official release.
Tracks like 'Twin Lakes' and 'Cold
Man' certainly boast the same fuzzy,
frosted-glass hum of radiophonica
that epitomised early Boards' albums,
and the title track has an affectingly
desolate feel - the ambience of
open moorland and gloriously
bleak Yorkshire vistas. Elsewhere,
chattering beats combine with
drifting field recordings that, one
suspects, may have been made in an
actual field.
