Tom Hill is perhaps best known for his work as one half of electronica duo Wauvenfold and for the Penfold Plum moniker he uses for his solo output, but for this, his Expanding Records debut he's chosen the rather enigmatic heading of Origamibiro. Gone are the more angular beat contortions of Wauvenfold, Hill instead favouring a sound centred on his nylon-strung acoustic guitar and some finely spun, computer-aided audio treatments. 'Dissect Ephemeral' is one of those beautifully sewn together pieces of acoustic electronica that brings to mind Kim Hiorthoy or Manyfingers at their most overtly mellifluous. Following on immediately from this, 'Womb Duvet' is every bit as warm and cosy as its title suggests, with muffled, bass-heavy pads and hiss-laden crackling beats scuttling along delicately in the background. It brings back fond memories of the early Hobby Industries output. 'Remnants' is similarly lovely, sounding not unlike The Gentleman Losers for all its dusty post-rock beauty. Another key point of reference would be the first two Colleen albums: Hill's looping treatment of string instruments is certainly in that same other-worldly mold. A thoroughly beautiful listen which you'd do well to investigate without delay...
