about

Summer 2021. Inside a London bedroom far too small to be a studio. The dull hum of the city outside slightly increases as a long strange period of isolation seems to begin to close. It was a precarious time – but for most of us, when’s it not precarious? Synth, sampler, vocal cords and radio to hand, Beachers soundtracked this moment of disorientation with continued explorations of the way in which radio itself “moves”, uncertain how long it will last. The music creeps and pulsates mysteriously, synthesizer drones ceaselessly broadcasting and mutating, never quite falling over a precipice into oblivion that keeps moving just out of reach.

For generations, radio waves have crept into our houses, flats, and bedsits, creating a swarm of constantly radiating background noise. It never settles, it’s never over, and with a radio, you’re never alone. “The precipice is all we have” channels this ritual urban ambience into lingering instrumentals. Beachers is tapping into those latent signals that bind us together, and summoning a time and place we all know, we’d all like to forget, but we all know will never go away.

“I think for most of my life everything’s felt precarious. And there’s an extent to which maybe that’s more normal than fixed things or solidity, and maybe that’s the way we need to think about our lives. There seems a parallel to radio with this…” – Beachers

Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
