This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Boomkat, which stocked the label, still lists this record, filed under Electronic.
New York-based Honig's latest album and Type debut 'Folding In On Itself' is deeply melancholy music: it conveys a sense that the things we grew up with and see disappear can never be recaptured. Memory and the corruption or distortion thereof is at the core of the record, and like the cover made up of hazy family snaps of a changing Manhattan, Honig has tried to capture a sense of entropy in his quickly disintegrating city. Using a palette of locally recorded environmental samples, decayed acoustic instruments and the unusual, clattering percussion that has become his signature, it is probably Honig's most measured and defining record.
Made at Type.
