James Brewster - As a Hovering Insect Mass Breaks Your Fall

His fourth solo album, though it is the first to be released under his given name. It is also the first full album he has recorded since moving to Sweden in mid-2006. Brewster's aim with this record was to incorporate as many of his influences, ideas and interests as possible into a single coherent whole. The range of vocal contributors to the album neatly reflects both stages of Brewster's musical development thus far; Nick Talbot of Gravenhurst (Warp Records), Men Diamler and Suzi Gage (of acclaimed Bristol band You and the Atom Bomb).As well as drawing influence from his involvement in Malmö's own experimental, improvisation and noise scenes, Brewster's move to Sweden has also led to other more unexpected sources of inspiration. This is reflected in the remaining three vocal contributors to the album: Albanian opera singer Egzona Gervalla and Iranian puppet-artist Soodabeh Haaji were both met studying Swedish, as was fellow Englishman Daniel Goody (of Malmö electro indie pop band Steel Island).
