Check out the new album "the rural sequence" by keyboardist and producer Josh Cochran, aka Anemone. Inspired by the extremes of birth (the birth of a new daughter) and death (a near fatal infection) this 14 track album is a bit of a departure from the current offerings of most bedroom producers.
Taking pages from the vocabularies of acid jazz, rock, IDM, breakbeat, gospel, native american, and downtempo”the rural sequence” runs the stylistic gamut while keeping its sense of continuity intact. The disc combines the fluid and organic rhodes, organ, piano, mellotron, and synth playing with the repetitive precision of loops, found sounds, and other sonic manipulations.
Clocking in at 55 minutes the 14 tracks are allowed to develop personality, but are also to the point. Many of the tunes smoothly segue into each other and the disc has the ebb and flow of a skilled dj set. If you like keyboards, acid jazz, breakbeats, and/or IDM electronics you will most likely appreciate this album as a long playing original work worthy of several spins on your cd player.

When a random music enthusiast approached Josh about reviewing "The Rural Sequence" he was somewhat in disbelief that anything would come of it, but no less excited that someone took special interest in his work. Low and behold the review has surfaced! ;D
Former “Junk Buddha” keyboardist Josh Cochran, aka Anemone, marries the technical prowress of a seasoned organist with the darkness, weight and depth of electronic music. Taking pages from the acid jazz, IDM, rock, breakbeat, gospel, native american, and downtempo music, "The Rural Sequence" switches up styles in mind bending ways while keeping its sense of continuity intact. Read on for the full review.
First stop on the journey is a tune called “The Mower.” Glitchy, heavily effected sounds quickly give way to a tightly arranged, inspirational piano based piece of electronic music. A bassline and percussion quickly join the mix, giving “The Mower” an upbeat, dancy quality that continues into its outro.
Next up is “Piano Short” which blends lush violins and a piano melody with all sorts of electronic instruments such as synths, a dissonant organ, and some warm, lush pads that make “Piano Short” a great piece of downtempo music. Perfect for the car ride or a rainy Sunday night.
“Tapewood” is the first track that spells out “The Rural Sequence’s” more strictly electronic vibe. An old school Atari sounding melody quickly gives way to more old school synths, highly processed & distinctive drums, and layer upon layer of lush electronic elements.
“Machina” is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and is definitely the track most influenced by modern electronic dance music. More old school synths and infectious, drums combine to create a truly memorable track that is just dying for a breakbeat or 4/4 remix.
“Machina” segways into “4 Track Break”, a short track that builds off some DJ Shadow-esque drums and dirty basslines.
Next is “The Brinkster”, a track that is less serious than many of the tracks leading up to it. A simple yet effective organ patch is used here, combined with tons of glitchy effects and far-out drums that are just awesome to kick back and listen to.
“Driftwood” is an ambient track that is built on an errie, Native American influenced flute sounding melody and lush pads. A memorable track that goes in and out of phases like its switching moods. Very interesting.
“Baby Dance” is a high tempo, fast paced track that is clearly influenced by acid jazz and house music. More piano and Atari sounding synths are the centerpieces here, complemented nicely by Anemone’s trademark drums.
“Tribes of Canada” is a tribute to the spacey sounds of the group “The Boards of Canada.” Loops and lots of airy synths create this great ambient track that is hard to describe and even harder to categorize.
“Johnny Sparkles” uses a Rhodes piano melody and a warm, lush bassline to move along. Perfect for chillin’ out in the summer time. “Mare Placido” incorporate a seriously gritty bassline, crisp percussion, eerie sounds, and some seriously tweaked drums that turn into a drum & bass extravaganza. A true journey of a song.
“Maple Leaf” uses more organ and tweaked out drums to give this track an experimental yet coherent feel.
“Spring in January” uses layer after layer, to create a perfectly harmonious and enjoyable piece of downtempo music. Anemone’s trademark gritty bassline, organ, and Rhodes piano are all here, but a new dimension is added with an awesome guitar section. Great stuff!
“Sunday Morning” is the last track on the album yet it manages to sound distinctly different from anything else on the album. Gritty drums, more Rhodes piano, and some interesting arrangement make this a really inspirational and memorable way to end the album. Look out for the music video!
Conclusion: “The Rural Sequence” is a thoroughly enjoyable 55 minute journey through genres. Josh’s skill with the Organ, Rhodes Piano, and Ableton Live are all very impressive. The melodies are drawn out and complex, and are played in totally live, giving “The Rural Sequence” an amazing earthy feel that is sure to get all sorts of attention. In transcending all of these genres, Anemone actually manages to come up with his own, and it’s absolutely stunning. Check this one out NOW using the links below!
