FEATURED ALBUM:

Adhesion

by

Freight Cell

Released 27.11.2024

https://freightcell.bandcamp.com/album/adhesion

This is one single 40 minute piece and you are either going to like it all, or you’re not, in probably the first 30 seconds. I experienced instant love.

On the release notes it says, ‘Freight Cell focuses on minimal, repetitive, abstract dronescapes that slowly evolve and fluctuate over long durations…’ and yes, it is exactly that. 

But sooooo much more.

The artist described it to me as immersive and this immediately resonated as Disorganism’s last release was ‘an immersion’ and I think we both know what we mean by this. You might too if you’re reading this - a feature write up in a niche internet radio station for obscure and experimental sound and music, but one can’t assume.

There is no information or story accompanying Adhesion, so what you are immersing in is entirely your own perception and Freight Cell’s gorgeous, warm, pulsing dronescape. As expansive as it is intimate. 

For me, it is an eternal joy of this area of music and sound that you regularly come across things you just have to learn how to apprehend. Something gets its hook in you; calls to your unconscious and slowly or instantly, gets under your skin. Like one day realising a person you’ve ignored for years is actually totally beautiful.

As a very small child, I remember long drives home from family visits across London at night in the 70s, curled up in a blanket in the back of my parents’ VW Beetle. The lovely rear air-cooled engine beneath my head emitting that special sound, along with the rhythm of the road, to which I would eventually fall asleep. Adhesion takes me back there, but it could equally take me back to being submerged in the super warm water of the Hydrotherapy Pool with the vaguely metallic throb of the pump, low rumbles and strange echoey noises.

So, just as the reader brings as much to the text as the text brings to the reader… hearing, immersing in this requires you to open some inner place, memory or state and let the sound in. The only literacy required is your own wordless, sensory language, and 40 minutes to enjoy it in. (Headphones recommended.)

Go, immerse. Submerge. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Freight Cell is a project of UK sound artist, Fletina.
