PersistentRain

Following his ‘You Are the Music’ EP for Euphoric State, and the reissue of the underground classic
‘Voices’ by Jewellery, David Inglesfield returns with a second EP by PersistentRain – and the first
release on his own label, Precipitation.
‘All Time Is One’ is a meditation on the passing – yet continuity – of time, whether across multiple
decades, or just in the transition from one day to another.
Opening track ‘Farewell’ brings disparate voices and sounds from the past back to life in an intense,
transcendent journey, all driven by a pulsating bassline.
‘The Night Is Done’ features a solid beat and lush array of synths, with the vocal by Bristolian
Christine Hulbert the icing on the cake.
On ‘This Place (Displace)’, Inglesfield, a Londoner from birth, but recently moved to South Wales,
turns to consider a corner of his beloved native city, where a once-legendary musical theatre was
swept away, to become a makeshift car park in the 1960s, then the site of a brutalist block in the
1970s, now torn down yet again. ‘The first place we’re going to stop at ... seems to be
NOWHERE!’
‘I Remember’ closes the EP, with fragments of Fender Rhodes and strings fluttering like memories
over a moody, minimal sub-bass and insistent kick.
