Repetititive Music

by Competition

supported by

cee_haines Gives me something I find quite hard to make. Gentle but not wet, simplistic but not simple, catchy but not trite. Moving. It makes me think about where it came from. Beautiful.

iunia immaculately rendered tender gems of songwriting and sample-craft, delivered in inimitable Competition style. Favorite track: misery space.

about

Competition makes a blue return to Slip with 'Repetititive Music': a sawn-off songbook of doting vocals and incisive, heart-ache instrumentals, carried with a soft swagger.

Poised between insistence and tenderness, 'Repetititive Music' is an assured, dreamy successor to 2018's 'You turned into a painting'. As ever, there is Competition's rare care and delight in the unadorned material of modern song. Chopped strings, keys, machines and speech are screwed with classical grace. A voice pines and frays as it circles. Beyond the cut and the loop something yearns and lingers.

Craig Pollard (aka Competition) is a quietly pivotal figure in Newcastle's musical underground, curating events as one half of the Wild Pop collective and operating across the city's artist-led communities. A collection of Craig's writing - 'Inside A Gleaming Feeling' - is forthcoming on Glasgow press The Grass is Green in the Fields For You.

'Repetititive Music' [SLP050] is available from April 2020 on cassette and download. Artwork by Competition. Mastered by Phil Begg. Distributed by Boomkat.

*NOTE* bonus track 'tell me what you want to hear (ssoobs sample)' is included in the download only, not featured on the tape.

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce
