Various - for Wards
Review by Patrik Kasza
The album Wards by Various is a well-crafted collection of songs that showcases the diverse talents of the artists involved. From the haunting melodies of "Ghost in the Machine" to the upbeat rhythms of "Rhythm and Blues," each track stands out on its own.
One of the strongest aspects of the album is the range of genres represented. From folk to rock to electronic, there is something for every listener. The production quality is also top-notch, with each song sounding polished and professional.
The lyrics on Wards are thought-provoking and often introspective. The artists delve into themes of love, loss, and personal growth, creating songs that resonate with listeners on a deep level. The vocals are also impressive, with each singer bringing their own unique style to the table.

Notes
- All proceeds from the sale of this album will go to a Birmingham homeless charity.
- Ondes Positives are proud to present this special limited vinyl release of excerpts from 'for-Wards' - an exciting contemporary music project featuring ten composers including:
- JUSTIN K BROADRICK [Jesu, Godflesh, Napalm Death],
- PRAM [Domino Records],
- GRANDMASTER GARETH [Composer of 'Pool Panic' / 'Loot Rascals' game OSTs],
- XHOSA COLE [BBC Young Jazz Musician, 2018]
- and O/P's very own SCOTT JOHANNSSON.
- Through soundtrack, electronica, electro-acoustic, minimalism, jazz, library, dubstep and orchestral composition, these tracks take adventurous listeners on a fascinating journey through a diverse modern city-scape.
- 'for-Wards' was created by one of it's composers, Bobbie-Jane Gardner, to explore the sounds and communities of Birmingham, the UK's diverse second city. Each of the ten composers was assigned a district with which they had a strong connection, working with local community groups and residents to build a library of hyper-local field recordings and generate compositional ideas.
- These workshops became the basis and inspiration for the artists' works, which were performed in full during a series of live concerts across the city between 2017 and 2018.
- Our own Scott Johannsson created the forty minute minimalist audio-visual/environmental piece 'IRIS', incorporating archive materials, local history, spoken word, Super 8mm film loops, analogue synths and electronics, church organ, guitar and field recordings.
