Driven by a repetitive loop that takes the role of the song’s heartbeat, ‘’Under Over’’ addresses the feeling we all experience from time to time, where we all have to accept that every day can be a bit of a struggle. There are both highs and lows, and the best way forward is to be accepting of all the twists and turns.

Matching brooding, tense undercurrents of drone with strained soulfulness, Malcolm Pardon makes a notable shift in his creative approach on his third album. Where last year's The Abyss on Leaf continued his piano-focused ambient studies, on Flesh & Bones the Stockholm-based artist has left his primary instrument behind to explore the richly varied tones lingering in the background of his past compositions.

Drawing on the results of his live, improvised soundtrack to Gustaf Broms' Köttinspektionen exhibition in Uppsala, Sweden, Pardon developed a haunting suite of compositions focused on texture and spatial processing, aided in the mixing process by long time collaborators Aasthma (Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik).

From 'Hidden Path's cavernous wells of low-frequency tone to 'Under Over's sustained synth-string blooms, 'Speaking In Tongues' woozy two chord refrain to 'Flesh's nocturnal clamour, Pardon's seasoned approach to dramatic scene-setting through sound leads the music into its own captivating, compelling sphere, where emotions entwine and conjure strange new plains of expression.
