Ceramic Hello – Climatic Nouveaux
Ceramic Hello – Footsteps In The Fog
Ceramic Hello formed to make one LP in 1980, available only by mail-order at the time. The Burlington duo were lovingly written up by Matthew Samway of Electric Voice Records on Weird Canada, and there isn’t much that we can add to that. What we will say is that this is indicative of all the hidden records that exist in the world. I mean, who would expect this to come from some random basement in Burlington? That’s why people like Electric Voice and Suction Records – who, along with releasing new material, find and archive forgotten records like this and make sure they get the attention they deserve – are so important to our cultural identity.
Ceramic Hello probably aren’t a specific influence on today’s minimal wave bands that sound like them, but the sincerity behind the album is. They were working within limitations with the equipment they had and could afford. What results is a sincerity some of our favourite bands could only dream of.
