Synopsis

Product Description
Written in what Stuart A. Staples describes as a lost year, Arrhythmia began on Christmas day 2016 when he was drawn to the studio to record the beginnings of A new real, the albums hypnotic opener of glitchy electronic loops with a sly nod to disco. The second track Memories of love is indicative of Arrhythmias time-less experimentation and musical exploration. A stark and delicate melancholy opens up to rich and increasingly vivid chiming bells. Theres a feeling that the song has two diversely distinct parts unexpectedly, yet perfectly, married. Closing side 1, Step into the grey offers a dark romanticism reminiscent of early Tindersticks with a crescendo of freestyle percussion and strings. Side 2 of the album consists of a thirty-minute instrumental track Music for A year in small paintings. The piece began its evolution back in 2012, when filmmaker and long-time Staples collaborator, Claire Denis first saw the serial of works by the painter (and Staples partner) Suzanne Osborne and wanted to turn these 365 oil paintings of the sky into a film. Staples first solo album in thirteen years, Arrhythmia is immersive and experimental, both recognisably the work of the Tindersticks frontman and simultaneously a stand-alone, unique piece of work. It is a provocative album where electronic experimentations and rare multi-instrumentations interweave, wrapping themselves around unconventional but utterly spellbinding song structures
