about

The Edinburgh experimental composer Jordan Russell-Hall, aka Jordan Stanley, makes his debut on Bytes with his exceptional second album, A Cry For The Moon. There are shades of his Scottish contemporaries Hudson Mohawke and Rustie in these colourful experiments in microsampling. Jordan says: "Many of the synth chords are made up of minuscule samples of existing songs which have been warped to the point that they are virtually unrecognisable and create a cohesive sound that feels unique.”

Like a magpie snaffling shiny objects for its nest, Jordan has procured samples from all corners of the electronic and pop music realm - from Charli XCX and Mr Mitch to Ariana Grande and Jimmy Edgar - to help form his vivid sound palette. With the addition of vibrant synths, frenetic Jersey Club-influenced rhythms and lush ambience we find an album of futuristic glitch-techno bangers that, according to the artist will “take you on a trip through a desolate city under the cover of thick fog and a firework display."

Jordan’s debut album, Empty for Hundred, was released on Salmon Universe (the wonderful cassette label run by Richard Pike, aka Deep Learning, and JQ) in 2021. He recently supported TVAM (Invada Records) in Edinburgh and hopes to perform A Cry For The Moon live later this year.

Great record. wears it's influences proudly ..but retains a sliver of identity that is uniquely British and has a northern feel to it..I think that these geographic musical vignettes are realy evocotive of northern Newtown Uber estates and satellite communities..I hope this translates to a wider audience for him...he deserves the attention. give him his due .NOW . christopherogley

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan
