Album Review: Software Of Seagulls - Sunrise Industry

The beauty of Chris Perren’s musical outlets is not just their pushing of sonic boundaries, but finding the beauty in each aural exploration.

So it goes with Sunrise Industry, his first solo foray under the Software of Seagulls guise. The quilted tapestry of sounds isn’t an academic extrapolation; rather it’s an all-encompassing celebration of sound as life. From the warm skittish percussion and rhythms of the title track to the cut-up stagger of Adelaide St and apocryphal haunt of Redundant Array Of Different Worlds – Perren creates a world of constant appropriation, rediscovery and, ultimately, joy.
