Alison Cotton — Only Darkness Now (Bloxham Tapes/Cardinal Fuzz/Feeding Tube)

Only Darkness Now by Alison Cotton

It’s been a busy year and a half for Alison Cotton; since mid-2019, she’s released a host of solo music, as well as a number of records as one-half of the Left Outsides. Both her solo and duo work serve as a testament to the fact that minimal lineups don’t suggest a lack of ambition. When she overheard me listening to Only Darkness Now, my mother, who’s partial to Renaissance vocal music, asked, “Is this Thomas Tallis?” If there was ever a place where fans of centuries-old polyphony and psych-rock heads could find common ground, it might be found in Cotton’s music.

Like her 2018 album All Is Quiet at the Ancient Theatre, Only Darkness Now gives you a sense of what to expect beginning with the title. This is a fundamentally nocturnal album, structured around the kind of rituals that take place after the sun has set. Two of the album’s five tracks have appeared elsewhere:  opener “Behind The Spiderweb Gate” (the one that prompted the Tallis comparison) could first be heard via Longform Editions, while closer “Shirt of Lace” initially appeared on a 10” via Bloxham Tapes. Context is everything, though, and hearing these two compositions — neither of them short — within the confines of a larger work offers an interesting shift in perspective.  

This album feels decidedly nocturnal, and distinctly wintry. A long drifting section towards the end of “Shirt of Lace” keeps the drone going in a way that evokes nothing quite so much as breathing, even as Cotton plucks strings around it. (This song in particular rewards listening on headphones.) “The Hill Was Hollow” counterbalances sparsely-arranged violin passages and thrumming percussion. Cotton is equally prone to singing resonantly and using her voice as an instrument; both qualities can be heard on “In Solitude I Will Fade Away.” What emerges, then, is an album that feels as immersive as a landscape, with qualities both urgent and archaic.

房市走軟拖累拍賣數量 悉尼1月房屋拍賣太慘淡

來源：1688澳洲新聞網

入夏以來，悉尼的房地產市場處於昏昏沉沉的狀態，今年開年的待拍房屋數量比往年少了。

據Domain網站報道，和過去兩年的同期相比，本周末的待拍房屋數量減少了60%以上。

上周末，悉尼只有26套房待拍，清盤率只剩50%。

Commsec資深經濟學家Ryan Felsman表示，去年年末，悉尼清盤率連續六周都在60%以下，這種下降趨勢還未結束。

「澳洲審慎監管局（APRA）的借貸限制是最重要的因素，是為了給房地產降溫，」 Felsman說道。

本周六，整個悉尼地區只有17場拍賣會要舉行，也正好趕上澳洲國慶日的長周末。

HSBC首席經濟學家Paul Bloxham也表示，房地產市場的疲軟使得拍賣會場次減少了。「一年中的這個時候通常是拍賣不活躍的時候，但目前的待拍房屋數量特別少，表明市場比較冷淡。」

據了解，借貸限制和公寓供應增多將使得房價停滯不前，進而促使賣家推遲拍賣房屋，直到房地產市場再次回溫。

今年2月的第一個周六，悉尼將舉行160場拍賣會，和去年同期的228場相比減少30%，接近2015年的162場。

Bloxham表示，市場風向可能從賣家佔上風轉向買家佔上風，但目前還不明朗。「拍賣數量這麼低，很難判斷這是需求的挑戰還是供應的挑戰。我們得等到數量回升，通常是在2月，才能更清晰地去解讀。」

The Agency銷售主任、首席拍賣商Thomas McGlynn也預計，對賣家的期待值來說，2月將是未來幾個月的試金石。「市場依然相當有彈性。在市場風向轉變之前，人們還是會採用拍賣的方式來賣到最好的價格。」
