Cassette Diaries is a series of momentary musics -recordings made in short periods of times - be that a day, a week or a little bit more. Each edition is hand assembled, hand sprayed and hand screen printed by the fine folks at 7th Disaster.
Rachel Evans’ Motion Sickness Of Time Travel is the perfect starting point for Cassette Diaries. Much of her work is created in the moment, her layers of pulsing synth, textured electronics and phasing vocal sways are often recorded in one live take. Weeks, sometimes months, of preparation are executed and documented in the moment. On Traces, she marks out a diverse and overtly rich sonic tapestry that interlocks and breaks apart with an elegant sense of fluidity. We couldn't be more pleased to have this as our departure point.
"Prolific drone-maker Rachel Evans has a knack for shaping subtle rhythms, slow crescendos, and the wordless phrasings of her own voice... What makes it so enchanting is the way Evans melts her tones together; her vocals and synth seem to spawn each other. The result is a single, pure vision that just might make you believe there’s order in the universe." - Pitchfork
