2002, Thrill Jockey
VINYL FORMAT! How Animals Move was recorded over an extended period of time in various studios and non-studios around the world. The bulk of the record’s 13 tracks are instrumental, but vocal contributions from Does De Wolf, David Donahue, who also supplied lyrics to two songs, and long time accomplice Polly Harvey are pleasantly dispersed throughout. The quality of the instrumental tracks and the linear flow of the album are a testament to the compositional abilities of John Parish. That they should be recorded and played with such elegant restraint should be no surprise coming from this humble and quiet Bristol based family man. How Animals Move will certainly shift the spotlight towards one that has for too long remained in the shadows.
