TONE79: "Stardust" - Faith Coloccia & Philip Jeck

Using cassette recordings from 2015-2018
*Some songs (in different form) appear on the Mára recording "Here Behold Your Own".

Remixed using dubplates of Faith's mixes and additional recordings by Philip Jeck in Liverpool, UK, 2020.


“Stardust' is a satisfying meeting of minds, and a perfect middle ground between both artists' strengths. Collocia's raw emotional weight and Jeck's emphasis on sound and methodology is a match made in heaven.”
Boomkat — Boomkat


“...a hypnotic fugue that alludes to the presence of something grand, like an impossible vista unfolding just beyond our view”
Chloe Lula — The Wire


“Mamiffer’s Faith Coloccia pressed her music—faintly liturgical songs and sound poems about self and motherhood—onto dubplates for turntablist Philip Jeck to smear and distort, to uncanny effect.”
Daniel Bromfield — Pitchfork


“...febrile sounds heard from an obliterated, broken point off in the distance, or from within the walls that surround me every time I play this captivating album.”
Mat Smith — Further.


“Coloccia’s instrumental pieces in particular are quite amazing, progression no longer feels linear. Jeck creates whole new structures, density and modulations. Gentle minimal pieces become all encompassing waves of sound. Cadences are woozy, cyclical, and calming. Weird impediments appear. Yet these just make everything better. His handling of the vocals too is remarkable, Jeck offers heavenly drifting reverb and ghostly backup singers, restructuring the gentle lullabies into something entirely new. At times it feels like we’re heading in Gavin Bryars territory here. The transformation is remarkable. It’s hard to know what this is. And that’s what makes it so great. Rather than the sum of the two artist’s parts it feels like this project has elevated both of them into entirely new realms.”
