“Recorded 2010-2011 in a Honda Civic”.

Only the keener field recording experts might validate if this liner note is true. Be that as it may, this car might have traveled far, Graham Lambkin’s “Amateur Doubles” sounds like a sequence of broken, artifactual memories coming from very different places, all glued together by hazy memories. Especially the A-Side brings up past Sunday morning memories, easy as such, if there wouldn’t be the swelling synthesizer recordings leaving here and there unsettling moments. Intrinsic to “Amateur Doubles” is the odd, almost violent use of field recordings that burst through the musical illusions or end them abruptly, field recordings as a conductor rather than a background sound.
