Steve Hiett
's
Girls In The Grass
. Pressed alongside the long-awaited reissue of his one-shot masterpiece,
Down On The Road By The Beach
(BEWITH 001CD/061LP), these ten Balearic soul instrumentals are of equal necessity; unrivalled beauty rescued from the fashion photographer-guitarist Paris Tapes (1986-1997). While recordings unintended for release should often be approached with caution, this is a rare case of unheard material being assembled as an indispensable and coherent piece.
Girls In The Grass
is something super special. The light and shadow that defines Hiett's music is arguably more compelling here. It speaks to us in a language that feels profound, yet entirely comforting and familiar.
Girls In The Grass
reintroduces Hiett's languid electric blues boogie, crafted on Saturday afternoons with fellow art director
Simon Kentish
. Kentish would cook, pour some wine, and then utilize his arsenal of technology. He'd dial up a chugging rhythm, together with some ambient pads or keyboard textures, and anchor the weightless gauze of Hiett's six-stringed touch. Hiett's guitar sings with the same clean, crisp tone as
Down On The Road
, animated by a carefree weekend groove. Unlike his defining album which was boiled under pressure, these subsequent sessions have all the time in the world. The naïve melodies chart a missing link between
Vini Reilly
's ventures into electronica and
Booker T
, sounding like sun-warped takes on wordless, fractured non-hits from his heroes
The Beach Boys
. Remastered from the previously unreleased, original masters by
Simon Francis
. These private moments are adorned with Hiett's singular photography and feature typically idiosyncratic liner notes from
Mikey IQ Jones
. CD version includes two bonus tracks; digipack; includes six-page insert.
