about

Subexotic warmly welcomes Leicestershire based ambient musician Ross Baker, aka Enofa.

Ross' latest LP 'The House By The Sea' is a curious melting pot of found sound, ad hoc electronics and live performance, somehow knitted into a compellingly mysterious story arc.

A scattering of Baker family photographs, from decades past, adorn the sleeve artwork, including the enigmatic 'house by the sea' itself. As a photographic/music album, we are invited to a form of family gathering, communing with a jumble of half-forgotten, hazy recollections of times and places past.

This sense of confusion compliments Ross' style, combining tantalising elements of assorted electronic genres. We are presented with the shifting sands of a varied and heavily textured sound collage, conjuring visceral, ever changing landscapes through adroit application of atmospheric sounds.

Having also released under several other guises, including Second Thought, Ross Baker, 2T and International Debris, as well as an impressive array of collaborative ventures, including projects with Brian Dougans (The Future Sound of London) as Apertures, Dimitris Avramidis as Middlemarch, and Joaquin Ronco as Winter of the World, Ross is no stranger to the beautifully stranger side of electronic music, and sees this latest work as a new chapter in a musical journey:

"The House by the Sea continues the ebb and flow of my own music - while albums like All Roads Lead to Polesworth (Third Kind, 2021) and Shattered Infrastructure (Malachite, 2021) built up to a complex ambient house sound, THBTS follows the route of Bone Moor (Third Kind, 2022) in stripping those sounds back to a starker, colder approach.

The album combines older, unfinished pieces with more recent sessions to create a varied sonic tapestry, merging electronic and acoustic instrumentation, field recordings and tape manipulation to create a soundscape evocative of the album's title: salty sea air, cold wind, stark clifftops and isolation."

Such an outstanding album. Right up there with the best of the year so far for me. Reminiscent of Ninja Tune in its late 90s prime . Exciting music! Mark Swan

I already loved Fran's music, but he's now moved into the first division! Each of his releases is a jewel in a different way. Here he uses a combination of beautiful textures and melodies with beats. Normally, beats aren't my thing, but here the effect is very inspiring, not dissimilar to the best Helios work. This is life-affirming music that brightens your day. Allister Thompson
