Rhymes Of Chance
Roy Montgomery, a pioneer of the NZ underground, believes there is always new sonic terrain to investigate. His latest series of albums for Grapefruit marks forty years of rigorous exploration in which heâs managed to navigate disparate genres, scenes, and atmospheres, always at the forefront of experimental independent music. To commemorate, Grapefruit is releasing four new Montgomery albums in 2021
The third release of the series, Rhymes Of Chance, is the darkest entry of the four. Songs sound particularly spacious and minimal, with two tracks placing forlorn melodies around trusty collaborator Emma Johnstonâs singing and two others sung by Montgomery himself. While Side A presents the six-part âRhymes Of Chanceâ suite, Side Bâs âAspiratoryâ holds a clue to Montgomeryâs approach on this record; a floating dirge stretches time, much in the manner Mark Hollis (to whom the song is dedicated) approached music.
