Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com's Best of 1998
Listening to Labradford's Me Media Naranja is like eavesdropping on the dream music of the American cowboy. Echoing, watery guitars float over the open, dusty range of the mind. A waxy organ and percussive bells flesh out the atmosphere while each song seamlessly carries on the soundtracklike tradition of its predecessor. The small, whispering voices and relaxing, risqué melodies survive in the soul long after this eerie music has ceased. An absolute ambient classic. --Karen Karleski

Amazon.com
With slippery, twangy guitars that would make John Barry or Ennio Morricone smile, LaBradford have always suggested the cinematic rather than the bombastic. Eschewing drums, their latest Kranky release pits their spy-guitar aesthetic against long repetitive loops of retro-jazz keyboard, lazy cello, droning church organ, and sampled machine noise. The tunes are titled quixotically as well: Track one, "S"--an aquatic journey through a spaghetti Western oasis--leads into track two, "F"--an eight-note mantra that repeats as glassy slide guitar and a hushed, backwards voice intimate the David Lynch of Lost Highway and Twin Peaks. Never losing a sense of mystery and what Gaston Bachelard called "the poetics of space," LaBradford is the rock band most likely to succumb--to the fever of the unknown, the madness of the infinite. --James Rotondi

5.0 out of 5 stars Hypnotic, disturbing, shattering., August 20, 1999
By A Customer
This is probably my favourite cd EVER. Dark, hypnotic, but always humanely beautiful, it puts me into a trance every time I hear it. I don't know how to do this music justice in words. There are no song titles - just single letters. No information, no band pics. Just seven of the most haunting and gorgeous pieces of music you'll ever hear. If you're at all into Godspeed YBE, Mogwai, Tindersticks or just generally GOOD music, then please, I implore you - buy this cd. YOu'll listen to it for the rest of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one sticks., September 28, 2002
By Noemata (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
I would suggest ignoring the likenings of this to music of the American west as suggested by the editorial reviews. I've had this record for a year and I never had that impression. This music is too unique for such a general comparison.
I say the record sticks because I've had it for a year and I still love this record, still find it a powerful experience that increases in depth with each listen. Its an ambient record, though, without question- and thereby essentially background music. But, given that, its the kind of music that I put on when I want to read on a rainy day- and, its perfect for that, in my opinion. And sooner or later, the music gently starts to seep into your consciousness. This is music that will follow you around if you give it the opportunity. The record is an experience that doesn't end when your speakers go quiet. *Highly* recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Music for the Jilted Generation, June 7, 2000
By Second Fig "Fig" (Co. Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
Labradford have never exactly followed musical convention too closely but in their own roundabout way the Richmond trio have developed their music and reached a pinnacle with their last 2 records. Mi Media Naranja (My Orange Half en Ingles) is quite simply stunning. The music is haunting and minamilistic, recording in texture rather than notes they conjure up dreamscapes in the listeners mind and intoxicate the mind. Inhabiting the realms between asleep and awake the music flows and entwines around itself, utilizing an array of instruments on the way. On 'I' cellos gently flow around eachother, soaring up at the end of the track breaking free from the earlier mantra like refrain of Nelson, "did you bury it, deep enough?". The other tracks (seven in all) are equally minamalistic and sparse, usually built around fragile guitars and organs with the occasional murmour from Nelson. Perhaps best described as a soundtrack rather than an lp but i for one can't even begin to imagine a film cpable of doing the music justice. Music that bypasses the ears completely and becomes only emotion and nostalgia, truly beautiful.
