New instalment in Not Not Fun's limited edition Bored Fortress singles club pairs UK destructo duo Birds Of Delay with the alien electronics of Dreamcatcher, featuring Blake Hargreaves of Cousins Of Reggae.

Exclusive tracks from Birds Of Delay, Bruce Russell, Son Of Earth, The Opera Glove Sinks In The Sea, White/Light, Keenan Lawler, Bird Show/Lichens, Of…Ohv, The Zoo Wheel and The Gray Field Recordings.

Been a while since we heard from the duo of Luke Younger and Steve Warwick aka Birds Of Delay but this is a fine return, with subtle rainbow electronics, speaker phasing and minimal tonal fireworks generating a kind of nowhere zone between H-Pop, Kraut-inspired keyboard bliss and the ‘fluffier’ side of Matthew Bower’s Sunroof. A bunch of studio tracks bundled with a live trio assault recorded at the CCA in Glasgow where they’re joined by Taylor Richardson of Infinity Window. Edition of 240 copies.

New solo album from Luke Younger, one-half of Birds Off Delay, with a rigorous set of electro-acoustic works for piano, casio and guitar w/a surreal Industrial edge: “Helm is the ambiguous solo moniker of London-based sound architect Luke Younger. Although, perhaps best known as one half of the pioneering avant-drone outfit Birds of Delay, it is in the more esoteric work of Helm that Luke's art takes on its most radical shape. 2010's debut LP To An End confirmed that in an age of fleeting trends and fly-by-night fancies, there were still a few old souls prepared to knuckle down and deliver the goods that people want to receive. Cryptography carries forward that noble mindset, presenting a new five-part suite of expertly rendered electro-acoustic study. Using processed piano, Casio MT-40, cymbal and guitar strings Cryptography steers the Helm sound through a melange of fringe territories: glacial drone meditations, reconfigured gamelan clusters, and howling walls of organized feedback, all coalesced in classic UK post-industrial fashion. Indeed, had it been conceived of 30 years prior, it would be easy to imagine Cryptography winning a seat in the United Dairies, or Dom America catalog, such is its commitment to homemade exploratory zeal. Cryptography was recorded at Highams Park, London 2009, with additional recording at No Recording Studios, London. Co-mixed, edited and mastered by John Hannon at No Recording, 2010. Cryptography arrives in a full color sleeve, with insert, in a hand-numbered edition of 400 copies.” – Kye.
