Description
The Archives Assistant’s fourth album comes courtesy of Finlands Hyster Tapes(their first release on CD). The album was inspired by the summer in rural Ontario, Canada. Television Road is the ironic name for the gateway that links the community of Peterborough to the forests and lakes of the Canadian Shield. Using field recordings of these areas, the Archives Assistant has created a meditative, occasionally raucous celebration of adventure through music. the sonic equivalent of a trip to the forest. For fans of GAS, Zoviet France, and ‘Chill-Out’ era KLF.
“Though he doesn’t mention the word, Cook might be considered a Canadian avatar of hauntology (…). He crafts his unique bricolage with admirable patience letting the work evolve smoothly, without jagged edges or smash cuts.”-Avant Music News
(..)the music sounds like The KLF meeting Zoviet*France… Strangely off-beat at times, aiming at the chill-out room perhaps, moving back and forth
with segments of pleasant rhythmic material, samples of a more orchestral nature and portions of field recordings from lakes in Ontario.”
