I know next to nothing about Telfort except that by craftily switching one strategically placed consonant, you evoke the lush, rolling hills of Shropshire and the birthplace of the industrial revolution. Similarly, the analogue bubblebaths created here can bring to mind similar feelings of contentment and comfort. Simplicity and economy are key to these productions, which are minimal in practice, but expansive in scope. ‘MSR Dub’ is a languid synth-swept journey to nowhere in particular. ‘As Though It Were’ similar, but more purposeful and swinging, while ‘It’s A Phase’ is a plaintive piece of deep space funk. An understated and poignant release.
