clever austin: pareidolia
Francisco Espregueira
Co-producing the influential Hiatus Kaiyote collective, Clever Austin (born Perrin Moss) has his debut album released through Touching Bass. Pareidolia is a genre-bending sonic and emotive trip with virtuosic, percussive groove at its core. At night, in his home studio, Clever Austin dreamed and created an avant-gard project that crosses bridges through various styles and dreams. 16 tracks, all mixed and self-produced over a period of two years, that slowly unravel with a cinematic feeling attached to them.
Guest appearances are spontaneous, late night drop-ins, cross town musical crossovers and moments of respect paid to established and emerging innovators. Jon Bap delivers a magnificent performance on first single “Blue Tongue”. Georgia Anne Muldrow, Cazeusx O.S.L.O’s, Laneous also contribute with voice elements to the dreamy ambiance that is created. Available on vinyl, shipping from opposite corners of the world, Pareidolia further cements a trans-global cultural exchange between the soulful sounds emanating from Melbourne and London.
