the little hand of the faithful - Grid is Good CS

Mound of Sound is proud to present ‘Grid is Good’ the new release from sound artist 'the little hand of the faithful'.

An album of “off kilter, wide screen pop”.

The title is an insight into the working process of The little hand of the faithful. It involves the surgical reshaping of beats and other waveforms, rebuilding them into more perfect structures, sometimes at a granular level, and always with a grid to lean on. Stemming perhaps from art school days, this layout tool provides a way to achieve pleasant rhythms for the eye and ear, and crucially, the ability to bust through the framework with fluidity or drama.

This album finds The little hand of the faithful using often quite abstract ways to produce 'wide screen pop.' Pools of echo, languid electric pianos, warm and resonant spaces as well as ice cold vastness pierced by all manner of guitar and other wires. Leaning away from vocal samples and into occasional, more personal voice parts, these new tracks have all of the invention and charm characteristic of this artist's previous releases.

Grid is Good is the sixth release from the little hand of the faithful, the solo project of Mitchell Jones (The Barons, Scattered Order, My Name is Mannering, Lint).
