Andrew Weatherall 'Consolamentum' (Rotters Golf Club)
Weatherall’s 2015 ‘Convenanza’ album was a mixed bag: quite subdued in both songwriting and arrangement, but concealing some fantastically odd nooks and crannies if you dug into it. This remix collection, though, brings the weirdness and wonder right to the surface. Over 12 tracks, his friends and colleages ramp up the dubbiness, the acidic electronic qualities and the gothic sewer reverberations to back up his cracked musings. It’s got all the variety and personality you’d expect from a Weatherall DJ set, and sounds at least as much like a coherent album as ‘Convenanza’ did. A glorious collaborative effort. Joe Muggs
