Mike Lindsay
Supershapes - Volume 1
Moshi Moshi
On the top floor of RG Scotts in Margate, you’ll find an assortment of tables — tables that became field recordings, then programmed scatter rhythms, and eventually the foundations of the solo album from Mike Lindsay: 'supershapes (volume 1)'.
It’s the first instalment in a series of records from the Mercury Prize-winning producer and mixing engineer (who’s also the co-founder of UK acid folktronica band Tunng, and one half of electronic alt-psych duo LUMP, with Laura Marling), a series that explores “the miraculous in the mundane”. Volume 1 looks widely at “everyday domestic objects, especially tables, coffee table books, and the daily rituals that shape us, heavily focusing on the majestic in the domestic”. The album is a kind of table in its own right: those who sit round it include Anna B Savage and many other musicians and artists — a sense of collaboration that has run through all of Lindsay’s work.
