phonopsia It's taken some time to find the right language to describe Air Foundry. Still not sure I have it, but these comparisons may help: Signals brings Bola to mind. Landfall gives me a strong Richard H. Kirk ambient dub vibe. And there are hints of Pole throughout. "90s UK electronics meets dub", might coarsely and unfairly sum it up. But that this unique synthesis comes together coherently is the triumph. I didn't get it immediately, but Air Foundry is definitely a keeper. Favorite track: Landfall.

about

Frequency Domain extends a warm welcome to the Apologist for their first release since 2006's 'Sorry Dub', a much sought-after 7”, cheekily reimagining the theme from 80s BBC sitcom Sorry! as a delicious slice of Basic Channel-esque electronic dub.

‘Air Foundry’ converges at the crossroads of electronica, dub, electro and techno, with eight elegantly atmospheric tracks written for Frequency Domain in 2019. The full album releases on cassette and digital formats, while a limited six-track LP version makes this the first Frequency Domain release available on vinyl.
