why we love this
Citrus and the scent of wood smoke linger in the air, a mysterious haze curling across the horizon in blurry, formless shapes. Warm ambiguity crackles through the album, balancing on the edge of eerie while exuding a relaxed, effortless ease.
about the record
Fever of the World is the Soda Gong debut by Memotone, the nom de plume of UK-based multi-instrumentalist Will Yates. As a collection, it is both intimate and expansive, like the feeling of gathering one's thoughts before setting off on a long journey or committing to an irrevocable course of action.
Throughout the album, Yates' talents as both a player and sound designer are on full display, along with the sonic signatures that have come to characterize the Memotone catalog: low-lit, ECM-inflected noir, evasive and evolving loop-based accretions, and mellifluous mosaics of keys, guitar, reeds, and percussion. It is patient and focused music, built around production techniques and compositional ideas that have been perfected both in the studio and in live performance over several years.
Warm, generous, and comfortable in its own skin, this is music that reminds us that when it feels easy to resign ourselves to world-weariness, we should pause for a moment and listen to the rustle of the leaves. The wind knows not to linger.
