Description
2017, 12″ LP, Ghost Box.
Julian House has been an integral member of Jim Jupp’s Ghost Box since the imprint’s inception back in the early 00s and in fact, it would be fair to say that the man’s studio efforts have helped to shape the label into the beast that it is today. Famously known as being the designer for artists like Primal Scream, House’s The Focus Group project is what he should be remembered for first and foremost; not only does Stop Motion Happening offer 25 tunes in all, but what is truly special about this LP is its sheer diversity and pure experimentation throughout. We’re not talking about regurgitating some outsider business here, on the contrary, this man’s music is one of the only things sitting on our charts that sounds truly singular in every way. From the choice of instruments to way they’ve been moulded, House has a knack for the bizarre and the utterly human. It’s a depiction of people, places and things; beautiful, frightening and revealing all at the same time. – Juno
