Review by Robert Barry in The Wire:
From the moment it starts, Fellfield Draff is a recording ripe with drama, texture, technological unease and sheer physical heft. According to the label website, the album was “recorded and constructed in Bristol 2013-2014” and it certainly feels like something as much built as inscribed. Though it’s produced entirely from electronic sounds, the material appears to be premised on the material infrastructure of modern technology rather than the more ideological metaphors of clouds and celestial highways that tend to be superimposed on top of that. This is the sound of technology deconstructing itself, a stunning requiem mass for dead media.
