THE WOODLEIGH RESEARCH FACILITY – Anamchara – 2LP – Vinyl [MAY 29]

2LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

Wounded but undefeated. Ready to go the next round. (Rob Harris, Ban Ban Ton Ton)

W.R.F. was formed in 2015 by Nina Walsh and late studio partner Andrew Weatherall to help wrangle the vast output recorded together beyond his solo releases.

Spotlighting nine tracks from the Apparently Solo series of EPs recorded between 2016-2019 and released on Bandcamp in 2023, this lustrous time capsule marks the culmination of Walsh and Weatheralls creative relationship born after they clicked at Londons earliest acid house clubs, becoming partners then managers of their Sabres of Paradise/Sabrettes labels before taking different paths by the late ’90s.

Anamchara straddles the gamut of musical styles explored by W.R.F. at this time, from slower paced psychedelic drug chug outings We Two, Heat to Meat Ratio, and Hidden Watchers Part 1, to banging acid house and techno sometimes inspired by the violence outside the studio door, including SCHLAP, Crack-Ed and churning acid juggernaut Yacidik.
