about

Standard Candles first came out as a vinyl-only release on the excellent Further Electronix label in 2018 (#FE008).

This one’s special because it was my first 12” of unreleased tracks since Nurture 08 in 2002. 'Cognates' and 'What Is It That You Contain?' were recorded in 2003, not long after returning to New Zealand from London. 'Art + Dice' was recorded a couple of years later (shout out to Per and Adrian). Ghost Wedding was recorded in 2012, in the house where I still live.

In cosmology, a standard candle is a star that’s used as a reliable measure of distance—i.e.,time. So that fit this EP: tracks made over a long period, in different homes, but which fit together and that I can place so clearly. Kudos to Anil from Further Electronix for his selection.
