NED COLLETTE - "Our Other History" LPNed Collette Our Other History LP (Sophomore Lounge, 2024) Our Other History is a wonderful new LP by this wandering Berlin based Melbourne expat. Ned's last album, Afternoon Dusk was an avant instrumental trio outing with James Rushford and Joe Talia, but Our Other History is a return to the delicate, sophisticated song craft of his 2018 masterpiece, Old Chestnut. Ned's approach to lyrics, vocals and music shares a melancholic beauty that is both

playing music in school and at church

with sound sources and samples smudged to the point of degradation and abstraction

2 x 12" vinyl w/ liner notes and interview by Edward George (The Strangeness of Dub

defiantly real and on display as if to antagonize whoever saw it into coming up with an explanation

as are the sounds

but for those of you with any sort of fight left in your manicured tastes

and Glow In The Dark deftly bounces between spacey ambience and an undulating no wave vamp

” a track that is best described as late 80s house melancholia is a beautiful dance of shimmering keys

Since forming
