Mike Lindsay - Supershapes: Volume I (CD)

On the top floor of RG Scotts in Margate you'll find an assortment of tables - tables that became field recordings, then programmed scatter rhythms, and eventually the foundations of the new solo album from Mike Lindsay: Supershapes Volume 1.

It's the first instalment in a series of records from the Mercury Prize-winning producer and mixing engineer (who's also the co-founder of UK acid folktronica band Tunng, and one half of electronic alt-psych duo LUMP, with Laura Marling), a series that explores "the miraculous in the mundane." Volume 1 looks widely at "everyday domestic objects, especially tables, coffee table books, and the daily rituals that shape us, heavily focusing on the majestic in the domestic."

The album is a kind of table in its own right: those who sit round it include Anna B Savage and many other musicians and artists - a sense of collaboration that has run through all of Lindsay's work.
