Everything Is Recorded is the project of Richard Russell, XL Recordings' label owner. Friday Forever is his second album and follows (2018). It is clear that Russell has built an impressive network of artists over the years, as he can count on guest appearances on every song here. , and his son Infinite Coles, Kean Kavanagh and Maria Somerville are just a small selection from that guest list. The
… range of styles that Russell shows here is just as diverse. The genres range from dub and hip hop to jazz and soul. An important theme is time, its passage and the speed with which it can go. Each song represents a time and during a usually short playing time, they have an improvised character. Thus this album sounds like a big jam session, full of unexpected twists and creative inventions. (JvQ)more
