Daniel Clough (formerly bricksKILL) is an exceptional young musician who has already moved through several genres--IDM, Breakcore, and Harsh Noise, to mention just three. With his recent material, all released under his own name, Dan has moved into electroacoustic territory, and firmly established his own pretty damn unique sound. As you will hear, the quality of his work is consistently very high indeed, which makes his commitment to the DIY community all the more laudable.
We are immensely pleased that Dan has chosen to release his work via Catch23, and look forward to more great work from him. When you see Dan on the cover of The Wire in a few years time, remember you heard him here first!

DANIEL
CLOUGH / JARROD RONE 'untitled' C23_036
Dan Clough (bricksKILL) in his new audio persona makes
lovely electroacoustic sound, with some tasty field recordings,
very nice indeed. Combine this with some new JR droning
ambience and this is what you get... a nice split release
which should appeal to all generic fence-sitters. Nice
stuff, check it out.
DANIEL CLOUGH 'tower of ghost' C23_041
Hot on the heels on his incredible 'sea of trees' release on My Formica Table comes Daniel Clough's new one, 'tower of ghost'. Yet more astonishing work from this fantastic artist. Attempts to describe this audio in terms of genre etc. wouldn't do it justice. You have to check this out, it's a real spine-tingler.
DANIEL CLOUGH 'noise without distortion' C23_043
In a recent myspace bulletin regarding the last outstanding release from Dan Clough, 'tower of ghost', I said 'I'm running out of superlatives here!', so with the arrival of yet more amazing material in the form of this intense new one, I'm a little lost for words. Awesome drones, field recordings, and electroacoustic ambience from this crazily prolific experimentalist. It puts me in mind of the better releases from Ashtray Navigations, which is surely praise indeed.
DANIEL CLOUGH 'The Woman of the Snow' C23_050
Yet another amazing new record from this up and coming UK electroacoustic experimentalist. Dan's usual broad sonic palette is present here, but this time augmented with some noisier textures...
Highly recommended.
DANIEL CLOUGH 'One Man is Missing, Two Girls Lie Dead' C23_053
Like his 'The Woman of the Snow' release, this new one from Daniel Clough is conceptually linked by a reference to a somewhat obscure film. What we have here is Dan at his best, shimmering drones and percussive ambience, tracks which slide inexorably to darker conclusions. Very highly recommended outing from Mr. Clough.
