I haven’t really clicked with Rival Consoles latest album. It’s always a bit weird when LPs have a several tracks released before the album. Somehow, they remain ‘bitty’ in my mind. ‘Soft Gradient Beckons’ did catch on with me, though, perhaps because at it’s heart it has a repeating motif that reminded me of Alessandro Cortini’s ‘Forse’ series.

Anyway, there’s a great video for the track made by the artist/animator/printmaker Anthony Dickenson, using long rolls of paper. Video and bts linked below.
