about

On Being Pollinated’ recorded in Surrey during 2019.

Thanks to Myste and Phil French of Nite Lite who provided the beautiful image on the cover.

Layout design by Peter Taylor.
Additional mastering by Nicholas Langley.

“Pollinated runs through the full spectrum of natural events, which is, indeed, unsurprising given the ideas behind the title: beyond being literally how flowers procreate, pollination conjures ideas of cultivation, care, nourishment, and growth, but it also points to decay and hardship: insects, dirt, sand, failure, and toil. Taylor strikes a nice balance between all these things in his ambient wanderings, infusing the tranquil pace of his work with tension and regret.“ Ryan Masteller, Critical Masses

"Ambient music is too often relegated and restricted to ‘chill out’ or ‘contemplative’ and it can be easy to create some drones and some nice chord pads and leave it at that. What sets the good ambient apart from meandering new age noodlings and turns it into a work art is the strength of the concept behind the music and how well that concept is visualized through the music. From concept to execution, with On Being Pollinated, MAbH has proved that, in this case, you can judge a book by its cover." I Heart Noise

"Still with Brighton’s Third Kind, new cassette about to emerge from MAbH titled ‘on being pollinated’, a limited release as is always the case with these TK outings this one pressed on an orange C60 in book style packaging all hand numbered in an edition of just 40 which per pre-release stats only seven remain looking for good homes. From off the set, we’ve taken a shine to ‘keep breathing’ a little something which incidentally, we are more than keen to carry on doing, for the forseable future at least. Appearing to be spliced into three interlinking movements, this seven minute slice of musical mindfulness delicately sheds its skin, with each passing cycle its drone drifting detailing, shifts with fixed point accuracy, through a wave forming genteel that softly touches base with early EAR, the minimalist etchings more commonly found on Silber Media and the elegiac fragile of the Eilean Recs stable, the latter particularly evidenced by the departing two minute finale wherein a somewhat numbed jubilance is encountered with the dreamy feel good emergence of a Sunday morn Church like celestial celebration." The Sunday Experience

...Like a forgotten spirit sweeping through an old hall, In The Fever Sun chills the soul and sets the tone for what the rest of the album is about to build upon: a thoroughly encapsulating sense of mental suspension.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣The uncanny chatter of Iuna Niva's vocals, while arresting in affect, nevertheless avoid becoming a distraction from the pervading quiet awe of each piece. Instead, they act more as a faint yet distantly relatable supporting layer. Full review here: http://bit.ly/32bNrpr Ambientologist
