Plant of the Day

Thursday 29 June 2023

Walking along the main road into Lerwick, Shetland, my friend and I noticed this amazing group of Dactylorhiza purpurella (northern marsh-orchid) which had colonised this dry embankment which was part of a car park landscaping. This orchid is normally found in marshy fields, roadside verges, fens, marshes and sand-dune slacks that remain damp throughout the year but plants will grow in drier places such as old waste tips, abandoned quarries and apparently car parks.

somewhere between proof of concept and actual development

clan arena (like) map for Fortress Forever, heavily Unreal Tournament inspired, still in development. devbox_carpark_v3 (it's like greybox but with devtextures)

sorry, some of these screenshots are kind of awful (and also there's some visual bugs, not much i can do)

development of this map is ongoing, i'm happy with how this version looks right now, but i plan to advance past this (mostly with actual textures, and replacing the more intricate brush detail with models, and adding more detail overall)

Ducks Ltd. — Harm’s Way (Carpark)

Ba-da-dum. Ducks Ltd.’s second album kicks off in the kind of staggered power chord that has always conjured angsty bravado, echoing the Who, Guided by Voices, the Bats, and Teenage Fanclub. Like a hundred bands before them, the Toronto duo seeks equilibrium between sting and solace, hook and racket. The giddy melodies of “Hollowed Out” billow from tight, angular brackets of guitar, a rush, an assault and a daydream all at once. It’s Power Pop 101, an amalgam of British Invasion, American 1990s lo-fi and NZ fuzz, but Ducks Ltd. are damned good at it.

This is Tom McGreevey and Evan Lewis’ second full-length as Ducks Ltd. and a big bright brash step up from 2021’s Modern Fiction. Our own Andrew Forell observed that “Although you’ll hear the influences — primarily English and Antipodean — Ducks Ltd. manage to force their own niche in a lineage of Flying Nun, Fortuna Pop!, Postcard, Sarah and Slumberland,” and that still holds. However, Harm’s Way is sharper and more exhilarating than its predecessor; it’s the same aesthetic but more clearly, exuberantly realized.

Ducks Ltd have honed their sound in a relentless round of post-COVID touring. They wrote parts of Harm’s Way while on the road with Archers of Loaf, and perhaps you can hear the up- and downsize of itinerant life in the title track. It crackles with the jangling excitement of playing to live audiences—the best hour of any day for a budding rock band—but also vibrates with a sadder, lonelier vibe. You can hear euphoria in the careening instrumental parts but doubt and listless dissatisfaction in the verse. McGreevey sings the chorus in a glorious swirl of uplift, but the words are about danger, vulnerability and stunted opportunity. The best pop songs have always been happy and sad simultaneously, and this set has that lovely rainy-sunshine ambiguity.

Ducks Ltd. make a music that was once the voice of youth and now primarily appeals to aging record collectors. But even though power pop jangle has become a niche category, there’s no denying its giddy pleasures. If you like tuneful rock with a little bit of nervous edge, here’s a good one.

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 25 May 2022

In my local supermarket car park over a stack of shopping trolleys a Laburnum anagyroides (bean tree, bean trefoil, golden chain) was flowering to delight shoppers who happened to notice the splash of yellow. This small, deciduous tree has flexible branches that can be trained over a pergola, arch or walkway, which will then show off the pendulous pea-like flower clusters. Please note all parts of the tree are poisonous.

Madeline Kenney - A New Reality Mind

(Dream Pop, Indietronica, Art Pop)

Trading indie rock for soft-eyed psychedelia, A New Reality Mind breaks Madeline Kenney’s world apart to reveal greater truths. The album’s sudden declines and greater experimentation lend a physical nature to the destruction of a relationship and Kenney’s recovery from that.

☆☆☆☆½

Rarely does a Madeline Kenney song feel like it ends too soon, the Oakland-based musician’s airy and reflective indie rock built on the premises of perfecting every little detail - the guitar textures, the little percussion embellishments, her delivery and commitment to every vocal line - and letting you untangle everything to find the magic at your own pace. Her first three albums were a natural progression for her from Night Night at the First Landing’s rough and wild dream pop to the lush production defining her magnificent Perfect Shapes before Sucker’s Lunch tossed in bits of sophisti-pop and shoegaze to both refine and darken up her sound, while her pandemic EP Summer Quarter brought vocal treatments and gorgeous psychedelia into her oft-grounded and introspective songwriting; this makes her latest release, A New Reality Mind, even more curious. It shares many traits with her last EP, the vocal manipulation and embrace of strange synth textures all present throughout, but Kenney contextualizes them through the sudden end of her relationship, using these artistic tools to voice her newfound loss while grounding it in the reflective rock of her first three albums, A New Reality Mind balancing the struggle of rebuilding yourself with the willingness to be transformed by pain. It’s her strangest, most uncompromising music to date, but few albums this year make such a massive impact with a sound this unusual.

Her hypnotic drum programming and instrumental loops in Summer Quarter works to even greater effect here, the concrete foundation the rest of A New Reality Mind needs to ground its strange textures and surreal lyrics. The album opens with an instrumental intro into the first full track, Plain Boring Disaster, new age pianos and soft-attack synths a gorgeous backdrop for Kenney’s contorted vocals and noisy guitars, introducing the contrast between her lucid songwriting and production that manifests the emotional chaos surrounding her. These songs are soft to the touch and have few harsh edges, but the paths songs like Reality Mind and The Same Again take you on are absolutely mesmerizing, Reality Mind’s noisy guitar work giving way to the second half’s lighter synth improvisation while The Same Again’s synth-against-drums polyrhythms make your head spin, the tidal shifts as Kenney wades through the aftermath of her relationship made present but beautiful in every moment. Tougher songs to crack, like the free-flowing I Drew a Line or overwhelming Red Emotion, expose tender spots in Kenney’s mind without losing their composure in the process, tethered by blocky programmed drums and plain songwriting that doesn’t abstract heartbreak in decorative imagery or wordsmithing. At its core, A New Reality Mind isn’t unlike breakup albums to come before it, but Kenney’s wider scope and readiness to be shaped by her loss allow the album to bloom with no difficulty.

A New Reality Mind’s magic comes from how beautifully Kenney takes hold of her loss, the relationship tension her previous release Sucker’s Lunch was filled with now let out into the air, simultaneously freeing Kenney and leaving her exposed to the open air. Superficial Conversation comes after the gorgeous relief of Plain Boring Disaster, and Kenney relishes in not having to hold herself back anymore, “That way of living / I’m over it” becoming a mantra throughout the verses. Her quieter moments may be where the real growth occurs - the insight into the relationship dynamics in Reality Mind and the accountability towards her own faults in closing track Expectations make for immediate high points in the tracklist - but her walking into the flames of HFAM or readying herself for disaster in Red Emotion is just as important to the album’s arc, balancing the growth out of a breakup as much as the time needed to let it hurt you so that healing can begin. For how plush its textures are and slow the album usually moves, the subtle ebbs and flows in emotion sell A New Reality Mind’s vision, Kenney progressing past her old relationship by letting the feelings wash over her at a natural pace. It might take time, but rediscovering yourself never comes quickly.

It’s hard to determine where Kenney will go after this - whether she’ll continue with this alchemical art pop or return to elegant indie rock - but A New Reality Mind marks a turning point in her discography, her most experimental and gorgeous project to date with an emotional core ready to burst but kept from ever losing its composure. As the dust settles from her breakup, Kenney chooses not to grieve the relationship so much as let it become another part of her story, knowing where it failed on both ends and looking to grow from the process. A sample from John Berger’s “Way of Seeing” at the midpoint of I Drew A Line verbalizes much of Kenney’s perspective throughout the album: “Everything around the image is part of its meaning / Everything around it confirms and consolidates its meaning.” She was swept into love and the many fantasies that come with it, but never shames herself for those desires and the position they’ve put her in now. Rather, she investigates those propensities, searching to understand how these choices happen in the moment and what it means to remove yourself from them and build a new reality with that clarity. A New Reality Mind is the sound of dreams being pulled away from you, and the clear skies Kenney finds with her eyes now open invoke infinite possibility. This is her new reality, and it’s more beautiful than ever.
