TOUCH 025B-LP
|
Repress on cyan vinyl. Touch Sensitive Records presents the Cork-based musician Elaine Howley's debut solo album, The Distance Between Heart and Mouth. The product of an audio diary kept on a four-track cassette machine throughout 2019 and 2020, the album recreates the intimacy of a radio show filled with Howley's favorite sounds, pallets, and textures; effortlessly joining the dots between pop and experimentation, summoning the kaleidoscopic world of Trish Keenan and Broadcast, the bruised lo-fi soul of Tirzah, and the dubbed-out blues of Leslie Winer. Over nine patient, spontaneous self-recorded and produced tracks, Elaine Howley traces the outline of a small space that could be considered one of the longest journeys to be taken. "Utterly gorgeous. This magnificent album is the gift that keeps on giving. Downright essential" --Electronic Sound (No. 6 Album Of The Year 2022). "A cosmic swoon that plays with closeness and distance in the realm of revelation" --Pitchfork.
