Mostly known for his work as founder, vocalist and main songwriter
for The Legendary Pink Dots, Edward Ka- Spel has long forged an equally
prolific career as a solo artist given to sometimes exploring similar
sonic realms as his group but clearly working at such a pace the need to
channel ideas and songs in this capacity must be enforced.
And just as well too, because Edward Ka-Spel is one of those rare and
exceptional artists whose high workrate doesn’t betray a keen sense of
quality control.
Long known as somebody unafraid to venture wherever he pleases, his work
has for a few decades now long traversed the more outward-bound or
so-called ‘fringe’ areas of electronic music, psychedelia, hypnotic
rock, kosmische sounds and the avant-garde.
Heartily sewn into all of this is Edward’s fantastic grasp of spinning a
twilight tale or spiralling deep into the mind’s recesses to craft a
song from comparatively nimble melodies and words of Kafka-esque
proportions.
It’s a strikingly rich blend that’s always deserved far more attention than the cult audience it thankfully at least has.
This LP collects eight tracks of a personal nature mostly pinned into
place by some refined electro rhythms, molten cosmic textures,
plaintive strings, introspective keys and a late night hue that sways
effortlessly between the beautiful, haunted and even, a couple of times,
a steam-pumped and sweat-ravaged dancefloor.
'Tales from the Trenches' delivers exactly as the title indicates.
Everything may at first feel ominous or sombre in tone, but there’s also
a glimmer of hope laid bare in all its sun-drenched glory poking
between the cracks.
