about

This has been a busy year for Francis Harris’ label Kingdoms, with five releases jammed into 2018. The label, which Harris describes as a platform for the more diverse end of his musical tastes, taking in everything from “club-inflected jazz, contemporary composition, ambient and reissues of obscurities from across the musical spectrum”, had its full first year this year after launching in mid-2017, and now they’re celebrating with a compilation tape, 'Kingdoms I'.

The compilation opens with another Harris project, Aris Kindt, his shoegaze collaboration with Gabe Hedrick, taken from their 2017 LP 'Swann and Odette', and the dark, heavy lullaby of ‘Several Wolves’.

True to the label’s brief, the journey though the compilation is a sprawling, adventurous one, taking us through Hannu Karjalainen’s airy sound sculptures, Emil Abramyan’s shadowy, experimental ambient music, Rasmus Juncker’s spectral, abstract compositions, Léah Lazonick’s neo-classical sound and the ghost techno of Adamo Golán.

Despite the variety of styles, what unites the music and artists on the compilation is their innate creativity, and their mutual searching and probing for artistic value through fearless experimentation and expression. Taken all together, they serve as an impressive document of the first chapter of Kingdoms’ story.
