Only belatedly have we discovered a pair of reviews of our last two Bipolar Explorer albums from the UK's legendary zine (and Resonance-FM, London radio show) The Sound Projector.
The first of them, written by Editor Ed Pinsent, about our 2021 release, FORESTS, VOICES, COASTLINES, DREAMS. Excerpt below and link to full article here. Thank you so much, guys!!
"Very much enjoying this somewhat uncharacteristic release by Bipolar Explorer - more avant; lots of layers, semi-composed in a vaguely electro-acoustic manner, very intriguing and haunting. Even so, two of their core elements – guitar and voice – survive in these misty washes. The vocal parts are especially effective, fragments of spoken word echoing strangely in forlorn loops, or being blown away into the distance by the eerie winds, and yet throughout all the emotional content still projects. Michael’s guitar, likewise swaddled in mystery, adding great poignancy to the overall effect conveying the uncanny feeling of flight, or falling in space, adrift in a sea of unknown forces, underscoring the somewhat supernatural vibe of the release..."
