L Pierre - The Island Come True

Review by Billy Hamilton

Somehow, amidst this jumble of hissing, spitting, creaking arrangements, Aidan Moffat has composed one of his finest and most abstract records to date.»

across his many projects past and present, it's under the moniker of l pierre that aidan moffat has perhaps best opened up the bare bones of his thirst for sonic exploration. 'the island come true' is moffat's fourth album as l pierre and is a work assembled from the vast cavern of his assembled field recordings and samples, a collage that works as a sonic patchwork of the 39 year-old's own mind. the album is a dreamscape, with fragments of classical works, drum samples, instructional speeches and, in a link back to his last album, recordings of nature. electronics elements previously employed on past albums have been discarded, the album in its entirety consisting only of these found sounds. the record is overridden by the hissing of tape tracks and drone.
