about

Front & Follow present the sixth in our series of split releases bringing together two of our favourite artists. Volume 6 features Polypores and Field Lines Cartographer.

‘The Blow’ project brings two artists together to formulate a collaborative release of their own making. Each artist has a side of audio to do whatever they want with. The two artists are encouraged to work together on the release, but the length and depth of this collaboration is completely up to them and agreed on a release-by-release basis – there are no set parameters, no fancy rules, no memorandum of understanding, no initiation ceremonies.

Each edition of The Blow comes on limited edition cassette with artwork by letterpress artist David Armes of Red Plate Press (redplatepress.com) and download.

The artists have reported that the inspiration for this album initially drew from long conversations about alternate realities and altered states of consciousness.

They write:

“We’d both been reading books relating to this, and after a few weeks of book-swaps and numerous Youtube wormholes (some valid science, some pure conspiracy theory madness) we each started writing music with this in mind. The idea was to see what would happen if we both wrote from the same starting point, and came up with alternative interpretations of the same subject matter.”

Specific inspirations included the life and works of Philip K Dick, MK Ultra experiments, Shamanic drumming, Migraines, the work of Anthony Peake, Neuroplasticity, Aldous Huxley, Hinduism & reincarnation, Superstring & Brane Theory, alien abductions…

Despite this album, neither Polypores nor The Cartographer are any the wiser as to what constitutes reality, or even if such a thing exists. Sorry.

Delicious tones wash over the listener. Another masterpiece from the ever-brilliant Polypores. Particularly enjoy the more ominous feel of Temple. Steve Hadfield

This is a great initiative and in support of a great cause, with lots of fascinating music responding to the crazy situation we've all been in for the last few months. One to look back on when this is all over and it will be very evocative of what we've lived through. Excellent stuff nickdrewski
