Laura Cannell's ambitious collection of collaborations is a softly-spoken, genre-averse delight, featuring contributions from Gazelle Twin, Earth and Nirvana-collaborator Lori Goldston, Factory Floor's Nik Colk Void, Manchester Collective's Rakhi Singh and Cannell's regular playmate Kate Ellis. At this stage in her career, Laura Cannell's process is one of not just self-discovery but also the discovery of likeminded artists from different generations, so 'Echolocation: Resonate from Here' is a beacon of sorts. While in residency at Festival of New last September, Cannell wrote six new pieces that were subsequently shuttled to six musicians. Only one song remains in its original form ('Sonar Forests'), while the others were sculpted and re-imagined by her collaborators. The album begins with the kind of slow-motion flutter we've come to expect from Cannell, but focuses on Kathryn Tickell's expert performance on the Northumbrian smallpipes. Tickell, who was the official piper for the Lord Mayor of Newcastle back in 1984, appears twice on 'Echolocation', on 'Our perceived distance' and 'Social interactions', both tracks that emphasize her virtuosity on an instrument we rarely get to hear so clearly. But the record never stays in any one place for long: Nik Colk Void's remix of 'Closer to Heaven' diverts Cannell's source material through a stuttering fog of modular gurgles and elastic kicks, and she only gets noisier on 'Closer to Now', letting Cannell's fiddle tones croak over barbed scrapes and crackles. Seattle's Lori Goldston, an unparalleled cellist who's worked with everyone from Nirvana and Earth to Laura Veirs and the Wedding Present, also responds creatively to Cannell's call, meeting her folksy curlicues with staccato plucks and phantasmagorical drones on 'Flight Calls' and 'Altitudes'. And Irish cellist Kate Ellis, who worked with Cannell on a sorely under-heard run of monthly deployments in 2021, adds her characteristic charm to the two-part 'Here and Now', underscoring the pair's evolving creative relationship. But it's the vocal turns from Rakhi Singh and Gazelle Twin that have left us most breathless. Singh's celestial tones mesh with Cannell's medieval echoes so perfectly we'd have sworn the duo have been performing together for decades, and Gazelle Twin helps transform 'Moving Through Mist' into a murky sludge of experimental electronics and dreamy coos.
