Favorite track: Shadow Pop Format.

danielcrompton A beautiful blend of lush string ambience, minimal beats and downtempo lounge breaks interwoven with fuzz and melody. A great listen! Favorite track: Angelblonde.

Steve Hadfield Oh my word he's done it again! Intricate melodic electronica with cascading rhythms

about

Bricolage are proud to present the third release in a trilogy of albums from Manchester virtuoso, Dark Fidelity Hi Fi.

"Machine Blossoms" is the latest addition to what has now become an annual event. Over the last two summers Rick Jones, the man behind the music, has released critically acclaimed and expansive electronic albums. The first "Gentle Static Flow", in 2018, was a lesson in meticulous sampling and sound design with an old school 90's IDM/trip hop approach to track structure with a focus on the melodic and glitchier side of ambient. The 2019 follow up "Found" was an enigmatic voyage recorded over a four month period of hyper creativity. Floating percussion, organic elements and illuminating synth work helped this album flesh out like a story as it sprawled out to its conclusion.

Here, on "Machine Blossoms" the ante is upped again as one of the hardest working and creative producers around continues his musical evolution. There's a lingering warm and vintage analogue feeling that flows through the album. A welcoming feeling if you will. The hypnotic pads and splintering percussion of DFHF carry the tracks as always but this time there's another layer of depth hidden underneath the scattered glitches and cracks as ethereal textures, strings and brass breathe new life into that signature DFHF sound. Elements of jazz, trip hop and IDM are all perceptible but become transparent as they blend into one another to provide an immersive and rewarding listen.
